TPS65261: Power supply to the connector on the HDMI source device side

Part Number: TPS65261

I'm thinking of using this device as a 5V power supply to the HDMI connector. If two HDMI source devices are short-circuited, is the device safe if it does not exceed the absolute rating? Or is a reverse current protection circuit necessary even if the absolute rating is not exceeded?
