Looking to radeon_connector.c I found that TV load detection had already
been disabled for some other chipsets because it wasn't always reliable.
I just added my card's family to the check (patch attached) and now my
problem's gone.

Disabling TV detection for the entire family is probably overkill, just
blacklisting my card (a Radeon Sapphire X550 Silent, 1002:5b63) would've
been enough, is there another place where this quirk could be added?
