Some dongle may generate more than one irq_hpd events in a short period of time. This patch will treat those irq_hpd events as single one and service
only one irq_hpd event.

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?
no,
At this time display is off. this mean dp controller is off and
mainlink has teared down.
it will start with plug in interrupt to bring dp controller up and
start link training.
irq_hpd can be generated only panel is at run time of operation mode
and need attention from host.
If host is shutting down, then no need to service pending irq_hpd.

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.
event q just like bottom half of irq handler. it turns irq into event
and handle them sequentially.
irq_hpd is asynchronous event from panel to bring up attention of hsot
during run time of operation.
Here, the dongle is unplugged and main link had teared down so that no
need to service pending irq_hpd if any.


As Kuogee mentioned, IRQ_HPD is a message received from the panel and is not like your typical HW generated IRQ. There is no guarantee that we will not receive an IRQ_HPD until we are finished with processing of an earlier HPD message or an IRQ_HPD message. For example - when you run the protocol compliance, when we get a HPD from the sink, we are expected to start reading DPCD, EDID and proceed with link training. As soon as link training is finished (which is marked by a specific DPCD register write), the sink is going to issue an IRQ_HPD. At this point, we may not done with processing the HPD high as after link training we would typically notify the user mode of the newly connected display, etc.


        dp_display_disable(dp_display, 0);

        rc = dp_display_unprepare(dp);
