[PATCH v6 17/22] drm: bridge: dw_hdmi: Drop call to drm_bridge_hpd_notify()

The use of calls to both drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() and
drm_bridge_hpd_notify() from the HPD IRQ handler may cause multiple
hotplug uevents and modesets when the bridge connector is used.
Use of drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() cause the internal DRM function
check_connector_changed() to be called, which in turn calls the
connector detect()/force() funcs to detect any connection status or
epoch changes, and when changed trigger a hotplug uevent. This also
help ensure that EDID and CEC phys addr is updated.
If only a call drm_bridge_hpd_notify() would be used, a custom connector
status/EDID change detection logic needs to be implemented, to fully
match what check_connector_changed() already provides.
The bridge connector detect() func also ensures that any hpd_notify()
funcs are called for all bridges in the chain, so there is not really
any need to have a call to drm_bridge_hpd_notify() here.
With both calls there is two hotplug uevents, two modesets and a total
of four .hpd_notify() calls (using a bridge connector):
dw_hdmi_irq(): EVENT=plugout
drm_helper_hpd_irq_event():
dw_hdmi_bridge_hpd_notify(status=2)
[drm:check_connector_changed] [CONNECTOR:46:HDMI-A-1] status updated from connected to disconnected
[drm:check_connector_changed] [CONNECTOR:46:HDMI-A-1] Changed epoch counter 1 => 2
[drm:drm_sysfs_connector_hotplug_event] [CONNECTOR:46:HDMI-A-1] generating connector hotplug event
drm_client_hotplug():
[drm:drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event]
[drm:drm_client_modeset_probe]
[drm:drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes] [CONNECTOR:46:HDMI-A-1]
dw_hdmi_bridge_hpd_notify(status=2)
[drm:drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes] [CONNECTOR:46:HDMI-A-1] disconnected
[drm:drm_edid_connector_update] [CONNECTOR:46:HDMI-A-1] EDID changed, epoch counter 3

Change to only call drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() from HPD IRQ handler to
ensure that only one hotplug uevent is sent to userspace when connection
status or EDID changes.
With only a call the drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() there is only a single
hotplug uevent and only two .hpd_notify() calls:
dw_hdmi_irq(): EVENT=plugout
drm_helper_hpd_irq_event():
dw_hdmi_bridge_hpd_notify(status=2)
[drm:check_connector_changed] [CONNECTOR:46:HDMI-A-1] status updated from connected to disconnected
[drm:check_connector_changed] [CONNECTOR:46:HDMI-A-1] Changed epoch counter 1 => 2

[drm:drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes] [CONNECTOR:46:HDMI-A-1]
dw_hdmi_bridge_hpd_notify(status=2)

[drm:drm_edid_connector_update] [CONNECTOR:46:HDMI-A-1] EDID changed, epoch counter 3
