No. What you're asking for is a change in behaviour (to call
intel_dp_long_pulse() from ->detect() only if it was just preceded by an
actual long pulse). That was never how this code worked. The point of
the flag was to avoid calling it twice when processing the HPD since it
was directly called from intel_dp_hpd_pulse() and then again from
->detect(). Since we no longer call it directly from
intel_dp_hpd_pulse() the flag is in fact useless.

While the change you ask for may be desirable, history has shown
that the DP code is very fragile, so I don't think we should make
the link state property depend on something that may need to be
reverted if a regression crops up. And so I think you should just
change your new code to work with the existing scheme. We can push
the detect_done optimization in afterwards since we should then be
able to revert it without having to revert everything related to
the link status property.
