[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Fake HDMI live status

[Shashank Sharma]

This patch does the following:
- Fakes live status of HDMI as connected (even if that's not).
  While testing certain (monitor + cable) combinations with
  various intel  platforms, it seems that live status register
  doesn't work reliably on some older devices. So limit the
  live_status check for HDMI detection, only for platforms
  from gen7 onwards.

This fixes regression added by patch:
  'commit 237ed86c693d ("drm/i915: Check live status before reading edid")'
