[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/lvds: don't restore hw state in the lid notifier for pch platforms

[Daniel Vetter]

It's a pain for two reasons:
- The vga plane redisablign requires actual legacy vgao i/o to pull
  of. The hw engineers really botched this one here :(
- There seem to be some BIOS out there which send out lid events when
  unplugging. Together with our broken DP code, which disables the
  port when the cable is lost, this results in an immediate modeset
  call, which can hang on the wait for outstanding flips.
