[sashiko-bot at kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Clearing the W1C HPD interrupt after reading the live status and setting the new polarity creates a race condition that can permanently break hotplug detection.

drm: bridge: dw_hdmi: Rework HDP and RXSENSE interrupt handling

This commit removes RXSENSE handling to simplify the HPD interrupt
handling, depending instead on a delayed work to detect connection
status or EDID changes. It also ensures the initial HPD interrupt
polarity is based on the current HPD status.

Can this sequence create a race condition that breaks hotplug detection?

If the HPD line toggles (for example, due to contact bounce) after
dw_hdmi_phy_read_hpd() but before this final hdmi_writeb(), the hardware
could generate a new interrupt and set the sticky bit again.

Since the final hdmi_writeb() writes the original intr_stat (which has the
HPD bit set) back to the register, and the register is write-1-to-clear, it
will clear this newly generated interrupt.

This could leave the driver and hardware out of sync, with the hardware
waiting for a polarity transition that has already occurred, causing all
future plug/unplug events to be ignored.

Should the interrupt status be cleared before reading the live state and
updating the polarity to close this race window?
