Make sure your have the rlc firmware loaded as it's required for the interrupt
controller to work.

Check your dmesg.  It should show something like:
[drm] Connector 1:
[drm]   HDMI-A
[drm]   HPD2
[drm]   DDC: 0x6440 0x6440 0x6444 0x6444 0x6448 0x6448 0x644c 0x644c
[drm]   Encoders:
[drm]     DFP1: INTERNAL_UNIPHY

In this case HPD2 has been (in theory) wired to the hdmi port.  Plug/unplug in
your hdmi port and check if bit 1 of any of the DC_HPDx_INT_STATUS regs changes
when you connect/disconnect the monitor.

#define DC_HPD1_INT_STATUS                                0x7d00
#define DC_HPD2_INT_STATUS                                0x7d0c
#define DC_HPD3_INT_STATUS                                0x7d18
#define DC_HPD4_INT_STATUS                                0x7d24
#define DC_HPD5_INT_STATUS                                0x7dc0
#define DC_HPD6_INT_STATUS                                0x7df4

You can use radeonreg:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/radeontool/
to dump registers.  E.g. (as root),
./radeonreg regmatch 0x7d00
