[PATCH 1/5] drm/bridge: lt9611c: fallback to cached HPD status on read failure

[Mohit Dsor]

HPD status is retrieved via an MCU command. In some cases the
command may fail, for example when the MCU is not yet ready,
leading to incorrect disconnect reporting.

Instead of returning an error state, fall back to the last known
HPD status to provide a more stable detection result.

This avoids spurious disconnect events during initialization.
