The Monitor Detection mode is used in course of TV detection.
After the TV detection is finished, the normal mode is restored. In such
case the TV hotplug stat will be set.
And when the hotplug interrupt is re-enabled, maybe the interrupt will
be triggered again and then the hotplug event is triggered again.

Maybe we should disable the TV hotplug in course of TV detection. Of
course we can disable the hotplug detection for TV.

Thanks.
