[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] Revert "drm/i915: Force state->modeset=true when distrust_bios_wm==true"

[Stefan Joosten]

Dear Ville Syrjälä,

Thank you for responding so quickly.
I was occupied with work and life for the past two weeks, sorry about
the wait, but have now managed to find some time to continue pursuing
this issue again.

Yeah... I know the feeling.

I did expect that. The automated tests failing was a pretty good
indicator.
You put that code in to take care of something. All I did was just tear
it down because it happens to work better for me... blunt but
functional for my purposes.

Seems to need some finesse or a condition to not cause my problem? Yet
still function for the reason you put it in there for.

I am more than willing to play guinea pig and test patches on my end to
improve it with you.

I have done so today.
