Hmm... Yeah, it do make some driver logical changes, but I
thought that's good, just make a clean on HPD thread, and I
do give lots of test on chrome tree about this changes, guess
a separate patch would be better.

If you don't feel good enough about this, okay, I would give
more test on that changes, and send upstream to request
comment later.
