Hi Xin,
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean when you say you don't
have an interface to get Downstream Cert.

The Content Protection property is just a means through which
userspace can turn on and turn off HDCP when it needs. As far as I can
tell, your patch turns on HDCP when the display is enabled and leaves
it on until it is disabled. This is undesirable since it forces HDCP
on the user.

Is it impossible to enable/disable HDCP outside of display
enable/disable on your hardware?

Thanks,

Sean
