Indeed :)

Well, in the description they are mixed but I think we do not have

I used devmem2 (may be an omap tool I have recompiled for MIPS - it uses /dev/mem).

Well seems to give the same result:

Ok!

The HDMI subsystem says (with some printk inserted) on cable unplug/replug:

So the plugout/plugin events are not processed further.

One thing looks strange:

[ 3897.127930] hdmi_av_composer
[ 3897.130848] dw-hdmi-jz4780 10180000.hdmi: final pixclk = 0

But I have no idea if this is the reason or the consequence
of the uninitialized lcdc.

So we need some DRM specialist to take a look on it.

BR and thanks,
