[PATCH] UPSTREAM: 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 500ms 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 after system resumes from suspend.
