... we did have a working version (without hdmi-connector)
and bisect pointed at your patch... So we debugged that.

So the lesson is: don't trust bisect.

And failed to make it work with hdmi-connector because the
ingenic-drm-drv reported errors.

Cool. How did you find that?

Great and thanks.

Will test asap and if it works as well, we can clean up a v4 patch set
for next week review.

BR and thanks,
