I usually build it on the target :)

Ahem, not really :) Did I get you right, you mean disconnecting the
HDMI cable from the board ?

As Geert (thanks) explained what I've tested with is suspend-to-idle,
which retains the state of the LUT tables (and I assume other
not-yet-implemented CMM features, like CLU). I recall the out-of-tree
driver has suspend/resume routines but I never really tested that.

Thanks
