I think we want some Fixes tag. Not sure what it would be though.

I also noticed that if I plug and unplug the HDMI cable from my apple
dongle that I see this error message

  [drm:dp_display_usbpd_attention_cb] *ERROR* Disconnected, no
DP_LINK_STATUS_UPDATED

which looks like the irq_hpd comes in while I'm disconnecting the HDMI
cable but the hpd_state is ST_DISCONNECTED. The state is set to
ST_DISCONNECTED in msm_dp_display_disable() so it seems that userspace
has turned off the external display, and then the kthread runs for the
irq_hpd but it's too late.

Something is missing from this patch then to properly disable the
IRQ_HPD interrupt before telling userspace that the external display is
disconnected. Shouldn't we be toggling the irq enable bits from the
hardirq context when we figure out what it is? The logic would be

 in_hardirq() {

   if (hpd high)
      enable_irq_hpd(); // Probably this can be delayed to the kthread
after enabling the link

   if (hpd_low)
      disable_irq_hpd(); // But this certainly cannot be in the kthread

   else if (irq_hpd) // Notice the else-if so that if hpd is low we
don't even try to handle irq_hpd if it came in at the same time
      handle_irq_hpd();
 }

Because we can't really mess with the irq controls in the kthread when
hpd goes low, it will be too late. For all we know, the kthread could
run seconds later, after an irq_hpd has come bouncing in at the same
time and pushed an irq_hpd handling event onto the kthread.
