Why is it bad to get multiple irq_hpd events in a short period of time?
Please tell us here in the commit text.

What happens if I suspend my device and when this function is running I
toggle my monitor to use the HDMI input that is connected instead of some
other input, maybe the second HDMI input? Wouldn't that generate an HPD
interrupt to grab the attention of this device?

I'm becoming convinced that the whole kthread design and event queue is
broken. These sorts of patches are working around the larger problem
that the kthread is running independently of the driver and irqs can
come in at any time but the event queue is not checked from the irq
handler to debounce the irq event. Is the event queue necessary at all?
I wonder if it would be simpler to just use an irq thread and process
the hpd signal from there. Then we're guaranteed to not get an irq again
until the irq thread is done processing the event. This would naturally
debounce the irq hpd event that way.
