Add DRRS work function to trigger a switch to low refresh rate when activity

Where is this function used? How can I judge that it does the right
thing?
Thanks for catching this. There is an error in the commit message. This DRRS work function will trigger a switch to low refresh rate, when there is no activity on the screen for more than 1 sec.
And this function is set as a deferred work from intel_edp_drrs_flush().
Functionality of this function can be verified from the debug logs in dmesg (lower refresh rate set will be printed out). Addition to that I am working to enable a debugfs to share the refreshrate
switch info also for the debugging/testing purpose.

Does dev_priv->drrs.mutex not also protect dev_priv->drrs.dp?
It should have protected. Will cover drrs.dp with drrs.mutex in next patch

This comment no longer applies to all the other callers of
intel_dp_set_drrs_state()? Or did you miss adding the
lockdep_assert_held(&dev_priv->drrs.mutex)?
This comment was added considering the requests from userspace for new refreshrates. But a part of MIPI DRRS and media playback DRRS implementation (currently in development), I am addressing the possible race condition. So at this point in time this comment is irrelevant,
hence vandana removed it.

Would it not be sensible for intel_dp_set_drrs_state() check for the
no-op itself?
If refresh_rate_type is already LOW_RR then we should exit the work function with no call to intel_dp_set_drrs_state(). Thats the reason the call is kept under the if condition. intel_dp_set_drrs_state() already handles if the
requested vrefresh is same as the vrefresh of the current refresh_rate type.
