The detected status of a connector should be ignored when a connector is
forced as hinted in the commit d50ba256b5f1 ("drm/kms: start
adding command line interface using fb."). One negative side effect of
not ignoring this is observed on the RCar3 SoCs which use the dw-hdmi
driver. It continues executing drm_helper_hpd_irq_event even if its
connector is forced to ON. As consequence drm_helper_hpd_irq_event calls
"detect" so the connector status is updated to "disconnected":
[ 420.201527] [drm:drm_helper_hpd_irq_event] [CONNECTOR:76:HDMI-A-1] status updated from connected to disconnected
This status is corrected by drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes shortly
after this because this function checks if a connector is forced:
[ 420.218703] [drm:drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes] [CONNECTOR:76:HDMI-A-1] status updated from disconnected to connected
To avoid similar issues this commit adapts functions which call "detect"
so they check additionally if a connector is forced and override the status
returned by "detect".
