Do you have any idea why this fix isn't available in official builds? I v seen on github that it may fix cec for a few and break it for others who have cec working fine
I think your conclusion is correct - fix something, broke something. Even if this libcec version works for you and fixes your issue maybe can brake thousands of other users.
Just ping me on new le version and I will build this special one.
Seems this is some old adapter that's why it was removed: firmware: install wifi firmware from linux-firmware, cleanup wlan-fir… by MilhouseVH · Pull Request #1635 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
I think with last firmware cleanups zd1211 firmware was removed somehow.
If this works could it be added to the USB-SD creator menu. i.e. Restore SD Card.
In this case you can get disk which doesn't have any partition - whole disk is a partition. And I don't like that.
I already have correct format functionality for Creator just doesn't know when I will finish it.
Use H2testw program to test the card. Or some similar program.

At least it helped here:

I have same sources so we can rule that out.
Maybe some downloaded source files were different in your case? Could you run in your LibreELEC folder
find sources/ -type f | xargs sha256sum >shasums.txtand attach the file in the post. I'm curious what the compare result with mine would be 
Cec still doesn't work in 8.1.0 ..
Because libcec version is still the same.
Should I build "my" version again... Sure. Building... Available in next few hours (or in a day).
Did you run
git checkout 8.0.2after
git clonebefore making image and this addon?
You need to compile for correct branch.
Which LE version you are using?
do I need to be inside a certain folder when I do this first?
In LibreELEC folder. Same as when you build image.
After the image is build you need to create addon
PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 ./scripts/create_addon pvr.mythtvInstall system tools addon and capture traffic with tcpdump. And then analyze it.
xrandr won't work with Amlogic.
Ups, missed this very important info 
Try xrandr command.
