#regzbot ^introduced: 2bcca96abfbf

It looks like it may have been possible to hit this also before commit
2bcca96abfbf ("soc: qcom: pmic-glink: switch to DRM_AUX_HPD_BRIDGE") and
the transparent bridge rework in 6.8-rc1 even if that has not yet been
confirmed.

The above is what made this trigger since 6.8-rc1 however.
