Subject: [PATCH] i915: Skip wrong TV outputs on HP laptop

A new HP laptop with GM45 seems detecting wrongly TV outputs
occasionally.  Most of time it detects the TV output as disconnected,
but spontaneously it detects NTSC 480i although the laptop has no TV
output at all.

A simple (but ad hoc) fix is to add a DMI check as below.
