The first test is simply a way to match the intel_connector to the drm
connector. The second one indicates whether we are using polling or irq
mode. If they don't match (given the test earlier in the code that only
selects hpd pins that use irq mode), it means that we are switching from
 polling mode to irq mode.

When that happens, it is necessary to assume that the connector state
may have changed (in the time window between the last poll and enabling
irq), so the hotplug work is scheduled. It will check whether a hpd
state change did happen or not and issue a uevent if that is the case.
