I get it, but if DP_DOWN_REP_MSG_RDY or DP_UP_REQ_MSG_RDY were the only
events to ack, and they were already acked in drm_dp_mst_hpd_irq(), we
should not do an extra "nop" ack.

The caller of drm_dp_mst_hpd_irq() needs to be able to conveniently
figure out what to ack, and what to not ack. And without duplicating the
logic within drm_dp_mst_hpd_irq().
