/sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status returns the correct state for
HDMI cable connection.

It is sabrelite board that does not have HPD signal not wired up.

sabresd does have HPD signal connected.

The HDMI undetected issue I am seeing on sabresd seems to be related
to the simultaneous usage of HDMI and LVDS.

If I remove the ldb node from the imx6qdl-sabresd.dtsi, then the HDMI
cable is correctly detected and HDMI is shown right after boot.
