OK, I though that eDP does not use HPD at all.

:)
More specifically, what user can do with such information.
OK, he can ensure monitor is connected and then force connected state.
But shall we expect existence of such configurations, I hoped we could
eliminate such combination (DP+noHPD) during probe.

It would be good to add this info somewhere, it is hard to guess what lc
means.
