Subject: [PATCH 4.19 57/73] drm/vmwgfx: Dont send drm sysfs hotplug events on initial master set

From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@...are.com>

commit 63cb44441826e842b7285575b96db631cc9f2505 upstream.

This may confuse user-space clients like plymouth that opens a drm
file descriptor as a result of a hotplug event and then generates a
new event...
