I don't think so. The initent was its only powered off if
adv7511_cec_init returns an error or if CONFIG_DRM_I2C_ADV7511_CEC is
not set.

Yea. I believe this is the case w/ HiKey. I don't have deeply
detailed docs on the board so I'm not sure if we will be able to
enable that or not (Xinliang/Guodong: Do you know if its possible?).
In the meantime though, we shouldn't regress.

Hans has since reworked the patch w/ a new version. You might want to
check his patches and see if they fit what your imagining.
