There should be no need for these calls. Once the HPD bridge is added to
a correct fwnode, the drm_connector_oob_hotplug_event() calls should
deliver the signal as expected.

This needs at least a comment, what is dev.parent->parent. Also, the
of_node is not correct here. It should be a node of the connector,
rather than the device itself. Consider USB-C controllers which handle
several USB-C connectors (e.g. UCSI). The DRM core won't be able to
identify the correct bridge.

Having the function here will bring a typec -> displayport dependency
between drivers (which you didn't document). It means it won't be
possible to build typec core into the kernel, having the DP AltMode
driver in the module (which also doesn't sound like a good idea).
