+ * drm_kms_helper_is_poll_worker - is %current task an output poll worker?
+ *
+ * Determine if %current task is an output poll worker.  This can be used
+ * to select distinct code paths for output polling versus other contexts.
+ *
+ * One use case is to avoid a deadlock between the output poll worker and
+ * the autosuspend worker wherein the latter waits for polling to finish
+ * upon calling drm_kms_helper_poll_disable(), while the former waits for
+ * runtime suspend to finish upon calling pm_runtime_get_sync() in a
+ * connector ->detect hook.
