When a display/dock (which has ethernet) is connected, I see this
hotplug change event 2 times (every 30 seconds) which I think you said
this is expected now?

Not sure about you seeing it every 90s vs my 30s... anyways, I no longer
see these events when a PD charger is connected though, so this patch
seems to help with that!
