Thanks for the feedback and clarification.

We observed a specific use case where using the GPIO-based external HPD
handling via display-connector leads to a functional issue.
When the DisplayPort cable is already connected and the display is active,
and we perform a system reboot, the display does not come up automatically
after boot with the current configuration (using hpd-gpios).
This happens because we do not receive a connect event post boot —
the GPIO-based HPD path does not generate an interrupt in this scenario,
as the line remains high and no edge event is triggered.

However, when we configure the pin with the edp_hot function and use the
internal HPD logic of the DP controller, the controller correctly detects
the HPD state after reboot. The internal HPD block generates the necessary
interrupt, and the display comes up automatically without requiring a
replug event.

This behavior aligns with other Qualcomm reference platforms where,
if the controller’s internal HPD is available, it is preferred over
the external GPIO path. Using the internal HPD provides more reliable
detection and keeps the configuration consistent across platforms.
So, this change ensures:
1. The display recovers correctly after reboot when the cable
remains connected.
2. We leverage the controller’s native HPD interrupt capability for
better reliability.
3. We maintain consistency with other DP-enabled Qualcomm boards that
use internal HPD.
4. edp_hot follows the Source device behavior upon HPD pulse
Detection [VESA DP standard v1.4 section 5.1.4].

I’ll add these details to the commit message in the next revision.

Thanks,
Amit
