I think the enum is actually wrong here.  I think the correct fix would be:

-                 reply->status = AUX_CHANNEL_OPERATION_FAILED_HPD_DISCON;
+                 reply->status = AUX_TRANSACTION_REPLY_HPD_DISCON;

The identifiers are so similar, my guess was that it was easy to mix
them up.  This looks like an actual bug to me, since the identifiers
have different values between the 2 different enums.
