Hi,

Upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4 breaks my HDMI output on my G45 machine.

As soon as the intel driver is loaded, the monitor shuts off
(standby mode).  Inspecting /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status
reports "disconnected".  When it is working, this attribute says
"connected".

There is nothing unusual printed to dmesg.

Bisection pinpoints the following:

The commit does not revert cleanly, but this patch resolves the issue:

Let me know if you need any more info.
