I emailed the closed driver display team, but as the issue seems to
only afflict certain rs690/rs740 boards, I'm not sure anyone will
remember what quirks those boards had as they are about 5 generations
old at this point.

The issue in this case is that the problematic connectors don't have
HPD pin wired up and the ddc lines seem to be wired improperly so a
ddc probe always reports something connected unless you actually look
at the EDID header.  For DVI-I we probably have to poll since only the
digital portion will assert hpd in most cases.
