It's a philosophical argument against HDCP in general - most "open source" people, myself included, are against any form of encrypting, encoding or denying access to content, particularly if one has already paid for it. We understand your requirements, we just don't agree with them. Seriously though, we most likely cannot help you with this - even if we did understand the HDCP parts of the HDMI components, we can't test it without keys, which we don't have, and have no interest in adding it to the driver as it already works. You're best off either asking Allwinner directly or convincing the people providing the content to drop that requirement.
