[Intel-gfx] [REGRESSION] HDMI connector detection broken in 6.3 on Intel(R) Celeron(R) N3060 integrated graphics

[Mikhail Rudenko]

The following is a copy an issue I posted to drm/i915 gitlab [1] two
months ago. I repost it to the mailing lists in hope that it will help
the right people pay attention to it.

After kernel upgrade from 6.2.13 to 6.3 HDMI connector detection is
broken for me. Issue is 100% reproducible:

1. Start system as usual with HDMI connected.
2. Disconnect HDMI
3. Connect HDMI back
4. Get "no signal" on display, connector status in sysfs is disconnected

Curiously, running xrandr over ssh like

    ssh qnap251.local env DISPLAY=:0 xrandr

makes display come back. drm-tip tip is affected as well (last test
2023-08-02).

Bisecting points at a4e771729a51 ("drm/probe_helper: sort out poll_running vs poll_enabled").
Reverting that commit on top of 6.3 fixes the issue for me.

I'm willing to provide additional information and/or test fixes.
