SubjectPowered off Philips TV sends corrupt EDID causing flickering
Dear Linux folks,


Connecting a USB Type-C port replicator [1] to the only USB Type-C port
of the Dell XPS 13 9360 with Debian sid/unstable and Debian’s Linux
kernel 6.10.5, and then connecting a Philips 40PFL5206H/12 TV device,
that is powered off or in standby, to the HDMI port, Linux logs:

```

```

The internal display of the laptop also switches off shortly, but comes
back after two or three seconds. This is very likely due to me
configuring the internal display to turn off once an external display is
used.

No idea, why the TV is able to transmit anything at all, when it is
turned/powered off. To avoid the flickering, would it be possible to
ignore events from displays sending such incorrect EDID?


Kind regards,

Paul
