I do see

I understand about the host state that we need to allow the transfers by
powering on if the host was off.

But I wonder why we should allow the transfer if the sink is not
connected because it will anyway timeout.

Does it make sense to have get_hpd_status() from the aux dev and not
issue the transfers if the sink was not connected?

This is more of questioning the intent of drm_dp_helpers to allow
transfers without checking the sink status.

IIUC, we want to timeout faster by not bailing out if not connected right?

This method of checking HPD status works for devices which use internal
HPD block to control the HPD (like sc7180/sc7280) but not for devices
where HPD is controlled outside the MSM DP controller like sc8280xp,
sc835-/sm8450 etc etc which use pmic_glink and DP driver only receives
the hpd status using the dp_bridge_hpd_notify() callback.

If we want to make this generic, we have to do something like:

dp_hpd_unplug_handle() notifies the dp_aux.c module that status is
disconncted and we should bail out

dp_hpd_plug_handle() notifies dp_aux.c module that status is connected
again and we allow the aux transfers.
