In i915 polling is on during runtime suspend only if there are outputs
without hotplug interrupt support. A special case is when an output has
working HPD interrupts when in D0, but no interrupts when runtime
suspended. For these we start polling (from a scheduled work) in the
runtime suspend hook and stop it in the runtime resume hook (again from
a scheduled work).

Imo whether to leave polling on or not for the above purpose is a policy
question (configurable with the drm_kms_helper.poll param).
