How about something like

zynqmp_dp_irq_handler(...)
{
/* Read status and handle underflow/overflow/vblank */

status &= ZYNQMP_DP_INT_HPD_EVENT | ZYNQMP_DP_INT_HPD_IRQ;
if (status) {
atomic_or(status, &dp->status);
return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD;
}

return IRQ_HANDLED;
}

zynqmp_dp_thread_handler(...)
{
status = atomic_xchg(&dp->status, 0);
/* process HPD stuff */
}

which gets rid of the workqueue too.
