Hi Jai,
Thanks for debugging the issue.

There are not many HDMI bridges that support codecs in the kernel, but
upon a quick look, bridge/analogix/anx7625.c and
bridge/synopsys/dw-hdmi* gracefully return a buffer of 0s when the
connector is unavailable.
I am not sure why that is done, but I also don't see the hdmi-codec
driver handle the 0s situation properly. It is business as usual for the
hdmi-codec.
Did you come across some observation when you were testing?
Regards
