hmmm, perhaps but that didnt result in any code change between v2 and 
v3, so I didnt add it.

I had discussed this part too :)

I totally agree we should fix .detect()'s behavior to just match cable 
connect/disconnect and not link_ready status.

But that alone would not have fixed this issue. If HPD thread does not 
get scheduled and plug_handle() was not executed, .detect() would have 
still returned old status as we will update the cable status only in 
plug_handle() / unplug_handle() to have a common API between internal 
and external hpd execution.

So we need to do both, make .detect() return correct status AND drop hpd 
event thread processing.

But, dropping the hpd event thread processing alone was fixing the 
complimentary events issue. So kuogee had only this part in this patch.
