OMAPDSS: HDMI: PHY burnout fix

A hardware bug in the OMAP4 HDMI PHY causes physical damage to the board if the HDMI PHY is kept powered on when the cable is not connected.

I agree this is a serious issue.

which now has me wondering if, by trying to boot v3.3-rc2 on this board during the past week, I have a destroyed HDMI interface on it.

I am not sure as I don't keep track of all OMAP changes, but you make it sound like a regression, is there any difference to 3.2 behavior?

So, a big thanks for sitting on that fix and exposing peoples hardware to damage, that shows real professionalism.

Well, I am no professional to begin with, at least in the sense of getting paid for it. That said I'm quite happy if I manage to find a few hours every weekend to do the work. Given that the final thing should be tested in -next before I ask Linus to pull, it is completely usual (and even quite fast) if things take 8-13 days on my end. If this isn't fast enough for Tomi, he'd better ask Linus to pull directly for such issues.
This one was also somewhat special as I had to learn how to deal with PGP and signed tags to make Linus happy.

Best regards,

Florian Tobias Schandinat
