Isn't it the same signal, just with glitches filtered ? The TPD12S015 is an 
ESD clamp, level shifter and DC-DC converter, if it wasn't for the two control 
inputs CT_CP_HPD and LS_OE, we could probably do without a driver. I wouldn't 
add HPD support to this driver, as the chip really can't detect HPD.
