Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 030/130] drm: Stop resetting connector state to unknown

3.19.8-ckt6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@...ll.ch>

commit 5677d67ae3949f09f57357241b88222d49b8c782 upstream.

It's causing piles of issues since we've stopped forcing full detect
cycles in the sysfs interfaces with

commit c484f02d0f02fbbfc6decc945a69aae011041a27
Author: Chris Wilson <chris@...is-wilson.co.uk>
Date:   Fri Mar 6 12:36:42 2015 +0000

    drm: Lighten sysfs connector 'status'

The original justification for this was that the hpd handlers could
use the unknown state as a hint to force a full detection. But current
i915 code isn't doing that any more, and no one else really uses reset
on resume. So instead just keep the old state around.
