    drm/i915/sdvo: Use &intel_sdvo->ddc instead of intel_sdvo->i2c for DDC

Egbert Eich fixed a long-standing bug where we simply used a
non-working i2c controller to read the EDID for SDVO-LVDS panels.
Unfortunately some machines seem to not be able to cope with the mode
provided in the EDID (specifically they seem to not be able to cope
with a 4x pixel mutliplier instead of a 2x one).

Since it took forever to notice the breakage it's fairly safe to
assume that at least for SDVO-LVDS panels the VBT contains fairly sane
data. So just switch around the order and use VBT modes first.

v2: Also add EDID modes just in case, and spell Egbert correctly.
