With no eDP on the system, we wouldn't expect to apply any of the eDP
settings.

Even after your fix to the patch, nothing? Can you try just setting
use_ssc=0 (and keep your fix).

In 633f2ea26665d37bb3c8ae30799aa14988622653 (drm/i915: Disable SSC for
outputs other than LVDS or DP) I tried to implement another aspect of
source-clock control, that is the patch that appeared to work if you only
had VGA connected. So the next step would be to combine the two patches.
