[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm: i915: Improve behavior in case of broken HDMI EDID

[Ezequiel Garcia]

Currently, our implementation of drm_connector_funcs.detect is
based on getting a valid EDID.

This requirement makes the driver fail to detect connected
connectors in case of EDID corruption, which in turn prevents
from falling back to modes provided by builtin or user-provided
EDIDs.

Let's fix this by calling drm_probe_ddc in drm_connector_funcs.detect,
and do the EDID full reading and parsing in
drm_connector_helper_funcs.get_modes, when it's actually needed.

This patch allows i915 to take advantage of the DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE
infrastructure.

Without this patch, any device that fails to provide a valid
EDID will be reported as disconnected (unless the state is forced)
and thus the kernel won't allow to use such device with any mode,
either builtin, user-provided, or the 1024x768 noedid fallback.
