Ok.

I mentioned the omapdrm restructuring that we've planned to do, I think
after that this will be easier to implement in a nice way.

For now, I think more or less what you have now is an acceptable
solution. We can hack the tpd12s015 to keep the level shifter always
enabled, and, afaics, everything else can be handled inside the hdmi4
driver, right?

Generally speaking, what are the "dependencies" for CEC? It needs to
access EDID? Does CEC care about HPD? Does it care if the cable is
connected or not? For Panda, the level shifter of tpd12s015 is obviously
one hard dendency.

Is there anything else CEC needs to access or control (besides the CEC
IP itself)?
