Yes, it is the same signal, level shifted and filtered, if I'm not mistaken.

The HPD gpio is defined in TPD's DT data. And can we know what is the
state of the HPD signal when TPD hasn't configured CT_CP_HPD and LS_OE.
Will there be a glitch when CT_CP_HPD is enabled? What if connector-hdmi
is already listening to HPD signal at that point?

My guess is that having gpio handling just in the connector would work,
especially as we set the CT_CP_HPD very early when TPD is being set up.
With this series we could probably do a bit more optimized management
for CT_CP_HPD, but probably we could still make sure the sequence is
such that the CT_CP_HPD is enabled before connector-hdmi registers the irq.

But that doesn't sound quite correct to me... I do think it's TPD
driver's responsibility, and it removes all the "make sure that"'s.
