OK, so clearly my patch won't work against mainline.  I guess it's a
good thing that I pointed out that it was only tested locally (would
have been better to test against mainline, but I don't think that's so
easy since there are several unlanded patches in mainline for
Rockchip).

As pointed out by others at <http://crosreview.com/278255>, locally
our kernel has a slightly older version of
<https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/28/291>, which would change mdvi to be
as needed.

...so I guess my change is blocked on someone reviewing/landing that
series.  If that series is rejected (or is changed sufficiently so
that mdvi no longer is set via drm_detect_hdmi_monitor() then my patch
will need to be re-spun.
