Hi Maíra,

Thank you for your patch,

Why? I do see that tmp was unused before your patch, but why should we
write it into this register? Did you manage to test this somehow?

Checking both commits, I can see that 0 is written at `mmDC_HPD1_CONTROL
+ N` register in _hpd_fini() in them, so if you are trying to fix the
commit that inserted that behavior, I think aren't those ones. For instance:

$ git show 2285b91c

0 was the valued written here before this commit. The commit basically
replaces the switch case with a sum in this snippet.
