The spec does talk a lot about IRQ_HPD (which is the short pulse) and
the power sequencing diagrams explicitly show that HPD should be asserted
after the T3 delay and deasserted immediately on VDD off, so those would
be the long pulses. So based on that my patch seems to make sense.
It seems HPD is optional for the source only, in the sink it's madatory.
But that doesn't really matter anyway because if either end doesn't have
it it won't work. The spec does go on to say that we should periodically
poll the sink status if HPD_IRQ isn't available. We don't do that
currently, but it does sound like a sane idea in case the link drops out.
