In my case, IRQ is not triggered at all.
When reading the value of the HPD pin, I always get 1 (and no
transition occurs when plugging / unplugging a cable).
The HPD IRQ is done on the HDMI connector driver [5].
I think a register configuration should be done to enable the IRQ pin
or maybe there is a nug in electronics.
The HPD pin is linked to a 2.2k pullup resistor (maybe it's wrong)

My board uses a "max7323" GPIO expander and the HPD pin is linked to it.
I test this GPIO expander by soldering a pull up resistor and an
interrupt on it and an interrupt was correctly triggered in both
max7323 driver and hdmi-connector;
So I guess that my DTB configuration is correct.
I made my DBT configuration available:
  - hdmi-connector node: [6]
  - lt8912b node: |7]
  - max7323 node: [8].
