Somehow we have a fast-path that tries to avoid going through the load-detect code when the encode already has a crtc associated. But this fails horribly when the crtc is off. The load detect pipe itself manages this case well (and also does not forget to restore the dpms state), so just rip out this special case. The issue seems to go back all the way to the commit that originally introduced load-detection on the vga output: commit e4a5d54f924ea5ce2913d9d0687d034004816465 Author: Ma Ling <ling.ma at intel.com> Date: Tue May 26 11:31:00 2009 +0800 drm/i915: Add support for VGA load detection (pre-945).
