This patch solves an issue I have where I have recently enabled HPD on
the SN65DSI86, but without this, I do not get calls to my .hpd_enable or
.hpd_disable hooks that I have added to the ti_sn_bridge_funcs.

So it needs to be enabled somewhere, and this seems reasonable to me?
It's not directly related to the display controller - as it's a factor
of the bridge?
