Well, it doesn't really matter, the point is that it may happen that the
connector's hpd line changes in the time window between the last poll
(that happens every 100ms) and the moment the irq is enabled back. This
time window, however long it may be, always exists and it may happen
that this is exactly when the hpd event occurs.
It's possible to test this by triggering an hpd storm, then triggering a
regular hpd toggle and directly disabling polling mode via debugfs.
I was able to do this with a chamelium and did see the problem take
place.

Yes, you are perfectly right. it is necessary to do this because the
event will not be detected either by polling (happening too late) nor by
the irq (happening too early). So we must trigger the hotplug work to
make it check whether the connectors states changed.

It works the same as other connectors, nothing specific there. The
hotplug work will read the connector's state and issue a uevent if its
value has changed.
