That really depends on what the force parameter is supposed to mean. The
documentation states that "force is set to false whilst polling, true when
checking the connector due to a user request". A look through git history shows
the parameter was added to reduce time wasted doing load detection (doing a mode
set in order to check if there is a device connected) for hardware that needs it
(commit 7b334fcb45b7).

As far as I can tell, across all the drm drivers, that parameter is only used to
avoid doing load detection.

Another thing to consider is that the driver may switch to polling if it detects
an HPD storm. When the detect calls come from polling, the code in this patch
will simply avoid any detection.

I don't know what you mean by realtime scenarios, but the regression is very
real. Using a kernel with your patches applied, suspend while there is no DP
monitor attached, attach the monitor while suspended and then wake up. Notice
how the connector state doesn't change. You can check the i915_display_info file
in debugfs, for instance.
