Yes, I read some part of it. Also used your idea about the counter as a
way to propagate connector updates, such as edid change and etc, from
here:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2019-April/214572.html

As currently we analyze only connection status and nothing else.
Gwang-Gyeong is now doing some other task, so his patches were
transfered to me - however some changes had to be done to make it
work(used kms_chamelium edid_change tests to check).

I will include all people into discussion and documentation seems to be
a good idea as well.
