That's what I thought, I'll poll that then. Do you have any idea how long it's 
supposed to take, to set an appropriate timeout ?

Most probably not, it would be too easy :-) I'll investigate (which will 
likely include lots of guesswork). If you can find any information about that 
(and especially about the MHL and HDMI 2.0 PHYs) that would be very 
appreciated, as I don't have access to any documentation that mentions a 
TX_READY bit for those.
