as jernej already mentioned i am currently having to use the kernel
cmdline option video=HDMI-A-1:e to get a working hdmi output on an
eachlink h6 mini tv box and was wondering that i did not get any hdmi
output even with this option when switching from the
https://github.com/megous/linux oprange-pi-5.2 to the orange-pi-5.3
branch which seems to contain this patch. as i had no idea what might
have caused the breakage of the hdmi output and did a full bisect of
the kernel between those two versions, which ended reliably at exactly
this patch - so i guess there is a regression at least with the
video=CONNECTOR:e option (maybe others too?) with this patches code
which makes it not working anymore.
