Yes, I will rebase and resend.

As per your latest reply, I'll just rebase atop drm-misc-next for now.

Yeah....sorry, looking again, I agree the comment I added in v3 is
pretty misleading.
I think autosuspend_delay just needs to be consistently longer than
the interval between each aux_transfer call during EDID read.
I'll measure the interval and add the number to the comment.
