I do hope you're not converting dw-hdmi to use DDC probing and having it
ignore the hotplug signal.  dw-hdmi has to work with AV setups, which
include an AV receiver, and that includes the AV receiver modifying the
HDMI data when:

(a) the TV is turned off or on.
(b) the AV receiver is placed into or out of standby

and it informs sources by pulsing the HDMI HPD signal, as per the HDMI
specification.  Proving the presence of DDC as a means of detection
won't pick up on these changes, and will cause a regression in the
driver.
