Note that at least on some devices, hpd was unreliable without using a
combination of gpio and denounced hpd signal from HDMI block...

Not sure what sort of MUX it is but it seemed possible (and necessary) to
use both at same time..

Please be sure to test lots of devices and monitors if you are going to
change this ;-)
