Detect the status of the VGA or SIL164 conenctor by polling the DDC channel. Update the status at runtime and flip the BMC status as well. Patches 1 adds a missing include statement that will be required to make later patches compile. Patches 2 and 3 simplify the VGA and SIL164 connectors, such that no additional data structure is required. These patches have been reviewed before as part of the series at [1]. Patches 4 to 10 improve the I2C code that is used to retrieve the monitor's EDID data. It's now fully managed, it acquires the necessary lock automatically and it is called DDC, which better represents its purpose than I2C. Patches 11 to 13 finally implement polling. Patch 11 updates ast's EDID code to be up-to-date. The helper drm_connector_get_modes() reads the EDID via DDC and updates the property. No driver code is required. Patch 12 uses a similar pattern to detect the presence of the monitor and sets the connector status accordingly. As polling also needs to be cleaned up, patch 13 adds the necessary helpers to do so. Tested on AST2500 hardware and BMC output. The BMC connector now also flips its status correctly at runtime.
