[PATCH] Revert "drm/i915/crt: Use a DDC probe on 0xA0 before load-detect"

[Jamie Lokier]

This reverts commit 6ec3d0c0e9c0c605696e91048eebaca7b0c36695.

When DDC documentation refers to "address 0xA0", it means what the Linux
I2C subsystem calls address 0x50.  Both refer to the address used for
reading EDID over DDC.

I2C documentation often suffers from confusion over whether the address
includes the low-order direction bit or not, and DDC documentation
(using I2C) is no exception.

The 'addr' field of struct i2c_msg is 7 bits wide (except when I2C_M_TEN
is used).  The upper bit of 0xA0 is discarded.  For example
drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.c::bit_doAddress:

        unsigned char addr;
        /* ... */
        } else {                /* normal 7bit address  */
                addr = msg->addr << 1;

The test added by the reverted commit is bogus; it really probes
address 0x40/0x20, which has no VESA meaning.

Another bogosity writing a random byte from the stack if the address
probe finds something.  Some attached devices may use address 0x40/0x20
for something proprietary or accidentally exposed, so this is quite bad.
I have seen monitors respond to a range of non-standard addresses,
although not this one.

What the BIOS writer's guide surely intends is (almost) performed by
intel_ddc_probe(), although that does a byte read after the address
probe and byte write, so perhaps intel_ddc_probe() needs a bit of
slimming too.  I'm inclined to think there is no need to even write a
byte; just probe the address, with zero message bytes.
