Ok, so this is just review on this patch. Imo what we need to avoid
polling all the time is a intel_hpd_polling() function or similar, which
sets drm_connector->polled to enable polling. We need to insert this in
the right places, i.e. in intel_runtime_suspend for !VLV && !CHV and in
vlv_display_power_well_disable for VLV && CHV. In short exactly symmetric
to how we call intel_hpd_init() on the enable/resume side.

intel_hpd_init() already disables polling again on its own (as long as we
only touch drm_connector->polled and not intel_connector->polled), which
means polling will only be enabled for exactly as much time as we need.

The other bit we need is to re-enabled the poll worker from that new
intel_hpd_polling() functions. We can't just call
drm_kms_helper_poll_enable because that requires a mutex. Instead the
simplest trick is to just schedule the poll work directly:

schedule_delayed_work(&dev->mode_config.output_poll_work, DRM_OUTPUT_POLL_PERIOD);

The simplest solution tbh would be to simplify drm_kms_helper_poll_enable
to drop the locking and just do this directly. The worker will
self-disable if it's not needed.

This would at least fix the "always polls" problem your patch has. We'd
still have the problem with irq storms happening due to the power well
switching all the time. But sounds like Ville has at least a partial
solution for that.
