Ok, cool. I intend to split this device into multiple devices, one per
DP bridge. I haven't done that though because I don't have any device
that has two independent DP controllers.

The work is queued again here because it's already running.

Yeah it's a problem because we need to read the mux_gpio to figure out
which way it's steering. We can't recreate the "first to assert HPD"
logic that the EC has because we can't control when the worker runs. At
least we can skip reading the mux if only one port has entered DP mode.
I'm hoping that the scenario where both ports are in DP mode almost
never happens, but if it does then we'll have to read the mux when hpd
is asserted to figure out which port DP is muxed to.
