No, it can't go as this. The drm_bridge_connector part should have been
a part of the first patch.

But now I can also see that the idea seems to be incorrect. You are
preventing the kernel from sending the events, but it doesn't really
matter. If connection status oscillates, then other components might
notice it even without the event being sent.

Why? Disconnected events definitely should be reported further.
