I do not fully understand when or how that could happen.
The dw_hdmi_detect() -> phy.ops->read_hpd() call chain only return
connected status when HPD is high, for what I can see from all current
integrations.
The default dw_hdmi_phy_read_hpd() used by all but meson should only
return connected status when the HPD is high:
return hdmi_readb(hdmi, HDMI_PHY_STAT0) & HDMI_PHY_HPD ?
connector_status_connected : connector_status_disconnected;
DRM_CONNECTOR_POLL_HPD is also used for all integrations so there should
not be any polling happening that would trigger multiple detect calls.
I guess this could/should be improved to also check for the polled type
to not cause multiple unnecessary EDID reads, in case a future
integration need to poll connector status.

Using a work queue to debounce reacting on HPD event for >100 ms when
HPD goes from high to low and a few ms when it goes from low to high
could probably further prevent unnecessary detect calls, and also help
avoid a possible unnecessary disable/enable cycle.
I have not seen anything other in core that handles the EDID refresh in
any special way, but I may have missed something?
Will try to use a debounce work queue to delay any calls to
helper_hpd_irq_event() and drm_bridge_hpd_notify() and see if that could
improve the HPD handling.
