Since commit ca876c7483b6 ("gpiolib-acpi: make sure we trigger edge
events at least once on boot") in the Linux mainline v4.18 kernel (and
also in stable v4.14.68 as commit fbb37b72489d) the Linux kernel now
calls _AEI edge handlers at boot.

Unfortunately the MINIX Neo Z83-4 mini PC has a DSDT bug where some copy
and pasted code for dealing with Micro USB-B connector host/device role
switching messes with the DDC data pin from the HDMI connector
(switching it to GPIO mode) breaking HDMI support.

For Ubuntu Bionic the mainline kernel change "gpiolib-acpi: make sure we
trigger edge events at least once on boot" is included in the
Ubuntu-4.15.0-56.61 tag as commit 4ea03f3e93f8 and released in the
4.15.0-58.64 linux package.

Starting with the 4.15.0-58.64 linux package and subsequent linux packages 
including linux-hwe (4.18 and now 5.0 based) and linux-hwe-edge (5.0 and now 
5.2 based) packages Ubuntu fails to boot
with working HDMI on MINIX Neo Z83-4 devices.

To fix this a proposed patch has already been submitted to the mainline
kernel linux-gpio team that disables the running of _AEI edge event
handlers at boot using a DMI based blacklist with the initial version of
this blacklist contains the MINIX Neo Z83-4.

This patch is currently under review. However once accepted and
mainlined (and incorporated into stable) it would be appreciated if it
can be backported to Ubuntu.
