I think the commit message is explaining the issue well enough.

This was not fixing any issue we saw to explain you the exact scenario
of things which happened but this is just from code walkthrough.

Like kuogee wrote, hpd event thread was there so handle events coming
out of the hpd_isr for internal hpd cases. For the hpd_notify coming
from pmic_glink or any other extnernal hpd cases, there is no need to
put this through the hpd event thread because this will only make things
worse of exposing the race conditions of the state machine.

Moving link training to enable and removal of hpd event thread will be
worked on but delaying obvious things we can fix does not make sense.
