Dear Linux DRM Maintainers,
I hope this message finds you well.
I'm currently troubleshooting an HDMI hot-plug detection issue and would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions you might have. Below is a brief description of the problem:
Platform: i.MX8MP
Driver: fsl,imx8mp-hdmi
We're experiencing a bad behavior with certain monitors (specifically Terra monitors). On initial boot, when the HDMI cable is already connected, the correct resolution is applied. However, if the cable is unplugged and then reconnected, the resolution is incorrect, and EDID is not being read. (please see attached Log). After several reconnection attempts, the correct resolution is eventually applied.
Log1 - With Failure

It seems to be a timing-related problem between the EDID read via ddc and HPD signal handling, a workaround by adding a 100 ms delay to the dw_hdmi_phy_read_hpd() function resolves the issue (please see attached).

I've also tried applying different patches from the following series (https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/cover/20240908132823.3308029-1-jonas@kwiboo.se/), but unfortunately it did not resolve the issue.
I'd appreciate any hint or any guidance on what a proper, upstream-compatible solution might look like , I don't think this workaround will be a proper one.
Thank you in advance for your time and support. I look forward to your feedback.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards
