The intention of the vc4.force_hotplug setting is to ignore hotplug completely.
It can be used when a display switching AV inputs, or going into stanbdby or changing a KVM switch
toggles hotplug and some side effect of that is unwanted.
It turns out while vc4.force_hotplug currently makes hotplug always read as asserted, that isn't enough to stop drm doing lots of stuff, including re-reading the edid.
An example of what drm does with a hotplug deasert/assert and vc4.force_hotplug=1 currently is:

That is unwanted. Lets ignore the hotplug interrupt completely so drm is blissfully unaware of the hotplug change.
