Tomi,

Out of curiosity, will there be DT nodes for pull-up resistors soon,
too? ;)

Honestly, TPD12S015 is a level shifter, there is nothing in it that
would justify a DT node nor a driver.

Above you already note, that connector nodes should offer HPD in the
future, but I guess the binding should represent that now already.
I will be a DT stub anyway, the corresponding video sink driver will
have to look it up.

Looking through the bindings for DVI and HDMI, I guess HPD gpio is
better kept in those nodes. From the relevant (DT) properties DVI and
HDMI connectors are in no way different.
