I agree with that, there was a similar case in the past:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20180323125915.13986-1-hverkuil@xs4all.nl/

I never followed up to that, but I believe this is generic for any HDMI transmitter
or receiver with built-in CEC support where the CEC line is not actually hooked
up to the HDMI pin.

There is no way for the CEC driver to detect that, so this has to be communicated
in the device tree.

For standalone CEC devices you can just disable them in the device tree, of course,
but if it is incorporated into the HDMI device itself, then it needs to be told.

Regards,
