Some questions so that I understand this better. How short would this
have to be for detect to not complete? Is there a way I can easily test
this scenario?

Not sure I understand this correctly, looks like you are setting the
event_bits even if there was no irq during the polling interval. Is that
right?

How does this work with DP connectors? From what I understand, the
event_bits are set for DP based on the return value from
intel_dp_hpd_pulse(). But, doesn't this patch set the bits
unconditionally?
