If the hotplug detect of a display is low for longer than one second
(configurable through drm_dp_cec_unregister_delay), then the CEC adapter
is unregistered since we assume the display was disconnected. If the
HPD went low for less than one second, then we check if the properties
of the CEC adapter have changed, since that indicates that we actually
switch to new hardware and we have to unregister the old CEC device and
register a new one.
Unfortunately, the test for changed properties was written poorly, and
after a new CEC capability was added to the CEC core code the test always
returned true (i.e. the properties had changed).
As a result the CEC device was unregistered and re-registered for every
HPD toggle. If the CEC remote controller integration was also enabled
(CONFIG_MEDIA_CEC_RC was set), then the corresponding input device was
also unregistered and re-registered. As a result the input device in
/sys would keep incrementing its number, e.g.:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:e7:00.0/rc/rc0/input20
Since short HPD toggles are common, the number could over time get into
the thousands.
While not a serious issue (i.e. nothing crashes), it is not intended
to work that way.
This patch changes the test so that it only checks for the single CEC
capability that can actually change, and it ignores any other
capabilities, so this is now safe as well if new caps are added in
the future.
With the changed test the bit under #ifndef CONFIG_MEDIA_CEC_RC can be
dropped as well, so that's a nice cleanup.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
