dd if=/dev/drm_dp_aux0 bs=1 skip=$((0x80)) count=16 | od -tx1 returns
always(*):
0000000 0b 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
(*)always - means for all the cases I have checked when adapter was plugged in
to PC and : kernels 4.16, 4.10, monitor undetected or other TV display
detected.</pre>
