I believe this is backwards.

Only in the event that there's no "downstream" HPD handler should we use
the internal HPD. This is signalled by the DRM framework by a call to
dp_bridge_hpd_enable(). So we should use that to enable/disable the
internal HPD handler.

When this happens, we have a reason for keeping power on; i.e. call
pm_runtime_get(). Once we have power/clocking, we'd call
dp_catalog_hpd_config_intr(), from dp_bridge_hpd_enable().


In the case that the internal HPD handling is not use,
dp_bridge_hpd_enable() will not be called, instead once the downstream
hpd handler switches state dp_bridge_hpd_notify() will be invoked.

In this case, we need the DP controller to be powered/clocked between
connector_status_connected and connector_status_disconnected.


I believe this should allow the DP controller(s) to stay powered down in
the case where we have external HPD handling (e.g. USB Type-C or
gpio-based dp-connector).
