From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f76f83a83c8fdbb62acbf8bd945f10821768145b upstream.
Unfortunately even the HPD based detection added in
commit cfe5bdfb27fa ("drm/i915: Check HPD live state during eDP probe")
fails to detect that the VBT's eDP/DDI-A is a ghost on
Asus B360M-A (CFL+CNP). On that board eDP/DDI-A has its HPD
asserted despite nothing being actually connected there :(
The straps/fuses also indicate that the eDP port is present.
So if one boots with a VGA monitor connected the eDP probe will
mistake the DP->VGA converter hooked to DDI-E for an eDP panel
on DDI-A.
As a last resort check what kind of DP device we've detected,
and if it looks like a DP->VGA converter then conclude that
the eDP port should be ignored.
