The drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() documentation states that this function is "useful for drivers which can't or don't track hotplug interrupts for each connector." and that "Drivers which support hotplug interrupts for each connector individually and which have a more fine-grained detect logic should bypass this code and directly call drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event()". This is thus what we ended-up doing. However, what this actually means, and is further explained in the drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event() documentation, is that drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event() should be called by drivers that can track the connection status change, and if it has changed we should call that function. This underlying expectation we failed to provide is that the caller of drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event() should call drm_helper_probe_detect() to probe the new status of the connector. Since we didn't do it, it meant that even though we were sending the notification to user-space and the DRM clients that something changed we never probed or updated our internal connector status ourselves. This went mostly unnoticed since the detect callback usually doesn't have any side-effect. Also, if we were using the DRM fbdev emulation (which is a DRM client), or any user-space application that can deal with hotplug events, chances are they would react to the hotplug event by probing the connector status eventually. However, now that we have to enable the scrambler in detect() if it was enabled it has a side effect, and an application such as Kodi or modetest doesn't deal with hotplug events. This resulted with a black screen when Kodi or modetest was running when a screen was disconnected and then reconnected, or switched off and on.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
