Thanks for the patch. Yes I completely agree with this, the
main purpose of this flag was to avoid calling long pulse
handler multiple times when it was being called from multiple places.
Now we do not need this flag since it does a full detect every time
get connector IOCTL is called since it calls intel_dp_detect().

This patch needs to remove the detect_done from all the other places
where its being set and from intel_dp struct as well.
I had already submitted a patch for this a while ago:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/137592/
Please take a look. However if you read the M-L archive, you will
find the comments and it never got accepted. Some of the arguments
were that since EDID might have changed, we need to always do
a full detect each time GET_CONNECTOR IOCTL is called.
