I did some more testing on this patch. Connecting and disconnecting the
cable while in fbcon works reliably, except for:
- edid/modes are not read before we bring up the link so I always end up
  with 640x480

- if I run modetest -s <id>:<mode> the link is brought up with the new
  resolution and I get my test image on the screen.
  But as we're shutting down the link for the resolution chance I end up
  in dp_bridge_hpd_notify() with link_ready && state = disconnected.
  This triggers an unplug which hangs on the event_mutex, such that as
  soon as I get the test image, the state machine enters
  DISCONNECT_PENDING. This is immediately followed by another
  !link_ready && status = connected, which attempts to perform the plug
  operation, but as we're in DISCONNECT_PENDING this is posted on the
  event queue. From there I get a log entry from my PLUG_INT, every
  100ms stating that we're still in DISCONNECT_PENDING. If I exit
  modetest the screen goes black, and no new mode can be selected,
  because we're in DISCONNECT_PENDING. The only way out is to disconnect
  the cable to complete the DISCONNECT_PENDING.
