Well, I studied it carefully and, yes, all call chains that can lead to
drm_display_info.is_hdmi / drm_detect_hdmi_monitor() update display_info
beforehand. In the case that this doesn't happen, the code is unchanged.

Do you want I explain the changes in the code here again ? Or do you want
to me change the commit message to be more clear ? In the first case, I can
write here a detailed explanation. In the second case I can make a longer commit
message.

Or both?
