PROBLEM: Intel HDMI output busticated on 4.4 (regression)

[Jindal, Sonika]

Can you please check if you have following patch:
"commit 3d8acd1f667b45c531401c8f0c2033072e32a05d

drm/i915: increase the tries for HDMI hotplug live status checking"

For some monitors, 30ms delay is not good enough to report the live 
status correctly.

Does the same system works with any other monitor?

Daniel,

Can this be related to the live status bits on g45?
