[PATCH] drm/i915/dp: remove redundant link state check
From: tarund18303
Date: Wed Aug 26 2026 - 01:26:33 EST
From: tarun-tarun143 <tarund18303@xxxxxxxxx>
The DP link state is checked and recovered through the encoder link
check work from the modeset and HPD paths.
The detect handler also used to queue the same link check work for
non-eDP sinks. This was added when link recovery was moved to the
encoder's check link state work, and the original change explicitly
left a TODO to remove the detect-time check once it became redundant.
Remove the detect-time link state check and rely on the existing link
recovery paths.
