Based on the investigation by Jani et al, we have the similar problem with
HDMI, only during disconnect. So I think we could generalize by retrying
any time there is no change (except for MST where the driver always keeps
the connector in a disconnected state), regardless of the type of the
sink, since a no-change is suspect in any case: why would the sink signal
(with a long pulse) if there is no change?
For HDMI we'd also need to handle this in intel_hdmi.c.
Then Ville suggested to add a Chamelium test for this to IGT, could you
Jose look into that as well? Both the connect and disconnect races could
be tested, both on HDMI and DP, by generating the HPD early/late wrt. to
AUX/DDC starting/stopping to return valid data. I don't know if
Chamelium can do this, you'd have to find that out first.
