Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Restrict usage of live status check

This patch restricts usage of live status check for HDMI detection.
While testing certain (monitor + cable) combinations with various intel  platforms, it seems that live status register is not reliable on some older devices. So limit the live_status check from VLV onwards.

This fixes a regression introduced in:
