Hmm. Or maybe leave the states alone, and just fire off the uevent
unconditionally and let userspace initiate the probe. That way we could
skip all ->detect() calls during resume for a bit of extra speed.
Not 100% if that would be safe. Maybe something internal depends on the
->detect() having been called? DP stuff perhaps? Which makes me wonder
how i915 copes with a DP monitor geting unplugged/change while
suspended. I should probably try that.
