[PATCH v4 5/6] drm/nouveau: Switch DDC when reading the EDID

The pre-retina MacBook Pro uses an LVDS panel and a gmux controller
to switch the panel between its two GPUs. The panel mode in VBIOS
is notoriously bogus on these machines.

Use drm_get_edid_switcheroo() in lieu of drm_get_edid() on LVDS.
This allows us to retrieve the EDID if the outputs are currently
muxed to the other GPU by temporarily switching the panel's DDC
lines. Likewise, ask vga_switcheroo to switch DDC before probing
LVDS connectors.

This only enables EDID probing on the pre-retina MBP (2008 - 2013).
The retina MBP (2012 - present) uses eDP and gmux is not capable
of switching AUX separately from the main link on these models.
This will be addressed in later patches.
