internal_hpd is referenced at both plug and unplug handle.
The majority purpose of mutext is try to serialize internal_hpd between
dp_bridge_hpd_disable() and either plug or unplug handle.

Intrenal_hpd is referenced by event thread but set by drm bridge

context. Add mutex to protect internal_hpd to avoid conflicts between
threads.

This patch looks completely unnecessary. How can dp_bridge_hpd_enable()
be called at the same time that dp_bridge_hpd_disable() is called or
dp_bridge_hpd_notify() is called? Isn't there locking or ordering at a
higher layer?
Ack. We can drop this patch because we are protected by
bridge->hpd_mutex in drm_bridge_hpd_enable() / drm_bridge_hpd_disable
() and drm_bridge_hpd_notify().
