Since intel_dp_detect() doesn't actually do *anything* except skip
detect sometimes, I think "full detect" is a misnomer.

Arguably you could merge intel_dp_long_pulse() into its only caller,
intel_dp_detect(), and do an early return on skipping detect. You have
to look at the functions, and wonder if the current split is the right
one.

Please let others chime in too before making changes.

BR,
Jani.
