Bug Description
Hi there! I have a Lenovo Carbon X1 and I use an external HP Z27 4K monitor. I have the monitor connected to the Lenovo laptop using a HDMI cable. I also have the same monitor connected to a Dell desktop computer using a DP cable.
I can change the selected input on the monitor from HDMI (laptop) to DP (desktop). The problem is that when I change it back, both the external monitor AND the laptop screen flicker as if I had physically plugged in the monitor.
Checking dmesg, I'm getting the following messages:
```
[616849.330989] [drm:drm_
[616853.593595] [drm:drm_
```
Sometimes I get back my desktop, but more often then not the external monitor is stuck as 1920*1080 and I have to use `autorandr` to fix that.
```
