Yes, that's what I meant about this chunk begging to go to the core. In 
my opinion, if we are talking about the disconnected sinks, it is the 
framework who should disallow submitting the frames to the disconnected 
sinks.

Yes, we change the MSM DRM driver. But the check is generic enough. I'm 
not actually insisting on pushing the check to the core, just trying to 
understand the real cause here.

You know, after re-reading the trace, I could not help but notice that 
the issue seems to be related to completion/timer/spinlock memory 
becoming unavailable rather than disabling the main link clock.
See, the SError comes in the spin_lock path, not during register read.

Thus I think the commit message is a bit misleading.

Can we please get a trace checking which calls were actually made for 
the dp bridge and if the dp/dp->ctrl memory pointers are correct?

I do not see the dp_display_disable() being called. Maybe I just missed 
the call.

Not quite. The bridges set the ops to describe the ops that they support 
themselves. Then the drm_bridge_connectors selects the bridge handling 
hpd, etc. So the DRM_BRIDGE_OP_HPD is always set for DP sources. But the 
question is quite the opposite: if we have the next bridge (e.g. the 
usb-c-connector or the display-connector), will the is_connected field 
be set correctly?
