yes,
we had a previous bug with this scenarios already.

At this case, dongle produce two interrupts, irq_hpd followed by unplug 
immediately (not presented at isr status register at same time), at the 
time dongle unplugged form DTU.
But due to dp ctrl reset at handling irq_hpd which cause unplug mask bit 
be cleared so that unplug interrupt got lost.


I think V6 patch is good to go.
