Ack, I overlooked that.

I understood it more: originally, I was wondering if it needs an array
`typec->hpd_asserted[...]` for storing HPD for each port.  But, no.

What cros_typec_dp_bridge_hpd_notify() get is just a connected/disconnected
signal.  It kicks off cros_typec_port_work() for finding which port is
supposed to trigger the event (with some logic with `active_dp_port`,
`mux_gpio`, and `hpd_asserted`).


Curious about one more scenario, is it possible:

Initially, no DP port and no mux is using:
  active_dp_port = NULL
  hpd_asserted = false
  mux_gpio = NULL

CPU A                                        CPU B
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cros_typec_port_work()
  cros_typec_port_update(port_num=0)
                                             [C0 connected]
                                             cros_typec_dp_bridge_hpd_notify()
                                               hpd_asserted = true
  cros_typec_port_update(port_num=1)
    cros_typec_configure_mux(port_num=1)
      cros_typec_inject_hpd()
      active_dp_port = C1
