Ok, the RxSENDetect is the "rx-sense" detection bit as described in the same doc:

Receiver detection circuit reports the presence or absence of an active termination at the TMDS Clock Channel (RxSENDetect)

The usage of the rx-sense signal in hpd_detect() is not clear because this would break detection of "Fake" EDID dongles or idle monitors.

The dw-hdmi handles the rx-sense, but only to power-on/off the HDMI TX, but only returns the HPD status to DRM without the RX SENSE state,
so it only saves power and doesn't change anything on DRM HPD detection.

So not sure if we should merge this as-is.

Hey Yunlongli,

Thanks for submitting this fix.

The formatting of this commit message is a bit unusual, let's try to

Remove the dot from the commit title:

judgment." -> "drm: bridge: it66121: Added it66121 chip external

The "fix:" tag is not needed. However if this commit fixes a bug
introduced in an earlier commit a machine readable tag like the the
one below could be added after the commit message.

Fixes: 988156dc2fc9 ("drm: bridge: add it66121 driver")

The "log:" prefix is not needed, and neither is the indentation of the text.

Secondly maybe it would be nice to format the above chunk of text into
paragraphs just to make it easier to read.

With the above suggestions fixed, feel free to add my r-b and submit a
v2 of this patch.
