drm/i915: Don't register CRT connector when it's fused off
On some machines the CRT connector may be fused off. The weird thing about this setup is that the ADPA register works otherwise normally, except the enable bit is hardwired to 0. No one knows of any fuse register that would tell us if this is the case, so the only thing we can do (apart from a blacklist) is to try and set the enable bit and see if it sticks. If not, we don't register the connector at all. Obviously if the bit is already set when loading the driver we can just assume it works. I've smoke tested this approach on several machines (GMCH and PCH), some with actual CRT connectors, some with shadow connectors, and obviously the machine (IVB) with the fused off connector. So far I've not seen any ill effects from this probe. The main benefit is that we can actually run igt on machines with fused off connectors, without totally upsetting the state checker.
