So it looks like there was two issues on the Pi3. The first one was
causing the timeouts (and therefore likely the black screen but
heartbeat case you had) and I've fixed it.

However, I can indeed reproduce the case with the black screen / no
heartbeat you mentionned. My bisection however returns that it's the
patch "drm/vc4: hdmi: Implement finer-grained hooks" that is at fault.
I've pushed my updated branch, if you have some spare time, it would be
great if you could confirm it on your Pi.

Thanks!
Maxime
