I have no idea why it happen this way.
during debug
https://partnerissuetracker.corp.google.com/issues/170598152
I saw two different scenario
1) irq_hpd followed by unplug with less than 20 ms in between. this one
fixed by this patch set.
2) plug followed by irq_hpd around 300ms in between. it does not cause
problem. but it should be handled in order (after connected state).

Ok. So nobody understands why the hardware is acting this way and we're
papering over the problem by forcing the HPD state to be what we think
it should be? That's not great.

irq_hpd is issued from dongle.
it then go through EC ps8805 driver and reach DP driver finally.
Again, to duplicate problem #1 this at my set up, i have to intentionally wiggling type-c connector of dongle.
But I can not duplicate problem #2 and only saw it one time from Quantan provide logs.
