If the initial fbdev configuration(intel_fbdev_initial_config()) runs and there still no sink connected it will cause drm_fb_helper_initial_config() to return 0 as no error happened(but internally the return is -EAGAIN). Because no framebuffer was allocated, when a sink is connected intel_fbdev_output_poll_changed() will not execute drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event() that would trigger another try to do the initial fbdev configuration. So here creating a dummy framebuffer of 800x600, so drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event() will be executed and fbdev can be properly setup when a sink is connected, if needed the dummy framebuffer will be freed and a new with the proper size will be allocated. This issue also happens when a MST DP sink is connected since boot, as the MST topology is discovered in parallel if intel_fbdev_initial_config() is executed before the first sink MST is discovered it will cause this same issue.
