You are right, Nikolay, and if you see [1], the second comment, I
suggest turning of HDMI as a workaround, but using LVDS instead.

However, I got confused when you said you have never reproduced the
error regarding plug/unplug the cable.
Do you mean you was not able to reproduce it *after* get it fixed, or
you have never been able?

I would like to have you updating the bug with your workaround. Could
you, please leave a comment there with your how-to?
