/**
* DOC: Hotplug
*
* Simply put, hotplug occurs when a display is connected to or disconnected
* from the system. However, there may be adapters and docking stations and
* Display Port short pulses and MST devices involved, complicating matters.
*
* Hotplug in i915 is handled in many different levels of abstraction.
*
* The platform dependent interrupt handling code in i915_irq.c enables,
* disables, and does preliminary handling of the interrupts. The interrupt
* handlers gather the hotplug detect (HPD) information from relevant registers
* into a platform independent mask of hotplug pins that have fired.
*
* The platform independent interrupt handler intel_hpd_irq_handler() in
* intel_hotplug.c does hotplug irq storm detection and mitigation, and passes
* further processing to appropriate bottom halves (Display Port specific and
* regular hotplug).
*
* The Display Port work function i915_digport_work_func() calls into
* intel_dp_hpd_pulse() via hooks, which handles DP short pulses and DP MST long
* pulses, with failures and non-MST long pulses triggering regular hotplug
* processing on the connector.
*
* The regular hotplug work function i915_hotplug_work_func() calls connector
* detect hooks, and, if connector status changes, triggers sending of hotplug
* uevent to userspace via drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event().
*
* Finally, the userspace is responsible for triggering a modeset upon receiving
* the hotplug uevent, disabling or enabling the crtc as needed.
*
* The hotplug interrupt storm detection and mitigation code keeps track of the
* number of interrupts per hotplug pin per a period of time, and if the number
* of interrupts exceeds a certain threshold, the interrupt is disabled for a
* while before being re-enabled. The intention is to mitigate issues raising
* from broken hardware triggering massive amounts of interrupts and grinding
* the system to a halt.
