There can be other drivers in front of the DP chain. For example,
altmode driver uses drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event() to deliver HPD
events.

Please take a look at Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
With the commit message fixed, the change LGTM. Thanks a lot for
describing the call chains leading to this issue.
I must admit, initially I thought that the change should be rejected on
a basis of being a band-aid, but after studying the call graphs and the
locking within the DP driver, the change looks correct to me.
