Some integrated ATI Radeon  chipset implementations
(e. g. Asus M2A-VM HDMI) indicate the availability
of a DDC even when there's no monitor connected.
In this case, drm_get_edid and drm_edid_block_valid
periodically dump data and kernel errors into system
log files and onto terminals, which lead to an unacceptable
system behaviour.

Tested since kernel 2.35 on Asus M2A-VM HDMI board
