Worth mentioning in the commit message that all current bridges which 
set .hpd_notify appear to be safe w.r.t multiple calls with the same 
status. meson_encoder_hdmi.c will do unnecessary work when called 
repeatedly with status connected. Not sure if it is worth adressing 
since I don't expect multiple calls with connector_status_connected to 
occur for this particular bridge.
