drm/i915: properly alternate between DVI and HDMI
This solves problems that happen when you alternate between HDMI and DVI on the same port. I can reproduce these problems using DP->HDMI and DP->DVI adapters on a DP port. When you first plug HDMI and then plug DVI, you need to stop sending DIPs, even if the port is in DVI mode (see the HDMI register spec). If you don't stop sending DIPs, you'll see a pink vertical line on the left side of the screen, some modes will give you a black screen, some modes won't work correctly. When you first plug DVI and then plug HDMI, you need to properly enable the DIPs, otherwise the HW won't send them. After spending a lot of time investigating this, I concluded that if the DIPs are disabled, we should not write to the DIP register again because when we do this, we also set the AVI InfoFrame frequency to "once", and this seems to really confuse our hardware. Since this problem was not exactly easy to debug, I'm adopting the defensive behavior and not just avoing the "disable twice" sequence, but also explicitly selecting the AVI InfoFrame and setting its frequency to a correct one. Also, move the "is_dvi" check from intel_set_infoframe to the set_infoframes functions since now they're going to be the first ones to deal with the DIP registers. This patch adds the code to fix the problem, but it depends on the removal of some code that can't be removed right now and will come later in the patch series. The patch that we need is: - drm/i915: don't write 0 to DIP control at HDMI init [danvet: Paulo clarified that this additional patch is only required to make the fix complete, this patch here alone doesn't introduce a regression but only partially solves the problem of randomly clearing the dip registers.] V2: Be even more defensive by selecting AVI and setting its frequency outside the "is_dvi" check.
