Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/amd/display: Fix Apple dongle cannot be successfully detected

[Why]
External monitor cannot be displayed consistently, if connecting via this Apple dongle (A1621, USB Type-C to HDMI).
By experiments, it is confirmed that the dongle needs 200ms at least to be ready for communication, after it sets HPD signal high.

[How]
When receiving HPD IRQ, delay 300ms at the beginning of handle_hpd_irq().
Then run the original procedure.
With this patch applied, the problem cannot be reproduced.
With other dongles, test results are PASS.
Test result is PASS to plug in HDMI cable while playing video, and the video is being playing smoothly.
Test result is PASS after system resumes from suspend.
