This patch restricts usage of live status check for HDMI detection.
While testing certain (monitor + cable) combinations with various
intel  platforms, it seems that live status register is not reliable
on some older devices. So limit the live_status check from VLV onwards.

This fixes a regression introduced in:
        commit: 237ed86 "drm/i915: Check live status"

As I said before, I think this whole thing could be solved with a simple
two-liner here:

+       if (...)
+               live_status = true;

Yes I remember, and I replied on that already that why we would like to
keep the live status check. In fact I would be ok to remove this check
if you can suggest some other way of making this work for other
operating systems/sw platforms.

My two liner would keep the check.

Sorry, I might have not understood you properly.
Do you mean:
        if (INTEL_INFO(dev)->gen < 7 && IS_IVYBRIDGE(dev)) {
                live_status = true;
        } else {
                do the same looping for retry;
        }

No, I mean

{
        ...
        do loop;

        if (!live_status)
                DRM_DEBUG_KMS("Live status not up!");

+       if (don't trust live status)
+               live_status = true;
        
        intel_hdmi_unset_edid();
        
        if (intel_hdmi_set_edid(live_status)) {
        ...
}


In fact, this is what I have done.
If you see the change in this patch,
        /* Lets make live status true for < VLV platforms */
        bool live_status = true;

        blah....
        blah....

        /* Check live status only for newer platforms */
        if (this is VLV or later platforms) {
                live_status = read_real_live_status();
        }
        intel_hdmi_unset_edid();
        intel_hdmi_set_edid(live_status);

Now, my question is, do you want to remove live_status check for VLV and other platforms too ? or this is good enough ?
        

        intel_hdmi_unset_edid(connector);

        if (intel_hdmi_set_edid(connector, live_status)) {
