Indeed TX_READY must be low before asserting pddq. HPD and
RXSENSE should work in power down mode by enabling enhpdrxsense
bit in phy_conf0 BUT to enter power down you must disable
TX_PWRON, enhpdrxsense and enable PDDQ and PHY _RESET. Only after
doing this (and consequently entering power down mode) you can
enable again enhpdrxsense.
