because the change is in mainline now below is kind of out of date
information, but you may find it helpful.

This is not needed.

This is not needed.

Practically you don't need this overcomplicated GPIO-based bitbanging
to emulate I2C, because the DW HDMI controller has a reduced I2C
controller on board, you may take a look at its support published here:

   http://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg116308.html

To utilize it the pads should be set to HDMI function instead of
I2C or GPIO.
