Comment seems bogus now - we're definitely _after_ hotplug enabling now.
Wrt fbdev locking: Thierry Redding is working on patches to arbitrarily
delay fbdev setup until the first sink shows up. Which will fix the
locking. I'd remove all that noise and just keep the part that explains
why we need hpd enabled first. With that fixed:
