- [High] Skipping `intel_hpd_init()` on runtime resume for PME-capable devices leaves hardware HPD interrupts permanently disabled, breaking hotplug detection while the device is awake.

drm/i915/display: skip HPD polling if PME is supported

This commit prevents the display driver from enabling HPD polling during
runtime suspend if the device supports PM_PME. It also updates the resume
path to selectively initialize HPD only if polling was actually enabled.

[Severity: High]
Does skipping intel_hpd_init() here permanently break hardware hotplug
detection for PME-capable devices?

When a PME-capable device enters runtime suspend, it skips
intel_hpd_poll_enable(), so intel_hpd_polling_enabled() will return false. 
On resume, this condition causes intel_hpd_init() to be skipped.

However, looking at intel_hpd_init() in intel_hotplug.c, it does more than
just polling setup. It also programs the hardware registers to re-enable
hardware interrupts:

void intel_hpd_init(struct intel_display *display)
{
    ...
	spin_lock_irq(&display->irq.lock);
	intel_hpd_irq_setup(display);
	spin_unlock_irq(&display->irq.lock);
}

Without calling intel_hpd_irq_setup(), the hardware HPD interrupts will
remain masked. Will any subsequent monitor hotplugs or unplugs that happen
while the device is awake be silently ignored?
