[4.4-rc1][Regression] drm/i915: Check live status before reading edid

Hi Sonika,

A kernel bug report was opened against Ubuntu [0]. After a kernel bisect, it was found that reverting the following commit resolved this bug:

commit 237ed86c693d8a8e4db476976aeb30df4deac74b Author: Sonika Jindal sonika.jindal@intel.com Date: Tue Sep 15 09:44:20 2015 +0530

drm/i915: Check live status before reading edid

The regression was introduced as of v4.4-rc1.

I was hoping to get your feedback, since you are the patch author. Do think increasing the number of tries in intel_hdmi_detect() is worth trying? Do you think gathering any additional data will help diagnose this issue, or would it be best to submit a revert request?

Thanks,

Joe
