[PATCH 3/7] drm: Add bmc_attached flag to connector

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Add the bmc_attached flag to struct drm_connector to signal the
presence of a virtual BMC output. The connector reports to be in
status connected even without a physically connected display. Fbcon
or userspace compositors would otherwise stop displaying to the
BMC.
