This fixes the issues I have with detecting a not connected monitor on
boot.

As my HW has enable under software control but the power supplies not there
seem to be an issue to properly bring up the bridge after a disconnect and
then reconnect. I can work around that in the device tree by not adding the
optional enable gpio.

As such on a HW with a DP connector and a DP monitor:
