Intrenal_hpd is referenced by event thread but set by drm bridge callback
context. Add mutex to protect internal_hpd to avoid conflicts between
threads.

This patch looks completely unnecessary. How can dp_bridge_hpd_enable()
be called at the same time that dp_bridge_hpd_disable() is called or
dp_bridge_hpd_notify() is called? Isn't there locking or ordering at a
higher layer?

Ack. We can drop this patch because we are protected by 
bridge->hpd_mutex in drm_bridge_hpd_enable() / drm_bridge_hpd_disable () 
and drm_bridge_hpd_notify().

internal_hpd is referenced at both plug and unplug handle.

The majority purpose of  mutext is try to serialize internal_hpd between 
dp_bridge_hpd_disable() and either plug or unplug handle.

I understood now, so what kuogee is referring to is that this 
event_mutex protection is to not protect those 3 calls from each other 
(since they are already protected as we saw above) but because 
dp_hpd_plug_handle/dp_hpd_unplug_handle still uses 
dp_display.internal_hpd to re-enable the hot-plug interrupt, this is 
making sure that flow is protected as well.
