drm/i915/hdmi: preserve cached EDID on DDC failure when connector is forced

This commit preserves the cached detect_edid on forced HDMI connectors when
DDC reads fail during monitor standby, moving intel_hdmi_unset_edid() into
intel_hdmi_set_edid() and skipping EDID teardown on Gen11+ disconnect when
the connector is forced.

[Severity: Medium]
What happens here when a connector with a cached EDID is forced off via
DRM_FORCE_OFF?

Because enum drm_connector_force defines DRM_FORCE_OFF as a non-zero value,
connector->base.force evaluates to true when the connector is forced off
(for example via connector_write() in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_debugfs.c, which
sets connector->force = DRM_FORCE_OFF without calling fill_modes() or
intel_hdmi_force()).

When a subsequent probe runs intel_hdmi_detect() -> intel_hdmi_set_edid(),
drm_edid_read_ddc() explicitly returns NULL for DRM_FORCE_OFF:

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid.c:drm_edid_read_ddc() {
        if (connector->force == DRM_FORCE_OFF)
                return NULL;
    ...
}

In that case, intel_hdmi_set_edid() will match !drm_edid &&
connector->base.force, skip intel_hdmi_unset_edid() and
drm_edid_connector_update(), retain the stale detect_edid and dp_dual_mode
state, and return true as if the forced-off connector were connected. The
same boolean check in intel_hdmi_detect() also skips
intel_hdmi_unset_edid() on Gen11+ disconnect when force is DRM_FORCE_OFF.

Should these checks explicitly test for >= DRM_FORCE_ON (or != DRM_FORCE_OFF
&& != DRM_FORCE_UNSPECIFIED) instead of a boolean check on
connector->base.force?

[Severity: Medium]
On DISPLAY_VER(display) >= 11, if the sink drops HPD during standby so
!intel_digital_port_connected(encoder) is true on a forced-on connector,
could jumping to out with status = connector_status_disconnected cause CEC
invalidation and hotplug churn?

In intel_hdmi_detect(), jumping to out leaves status set to
connector_status_disconnected:

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_hdmi.c:intel_hdmi_detect() {
    ...
out:
        intel_display_power_put(display, POWER_DOMAIN_GMBUS, wakeref);

        if (status != connector_status_connected)
                cec_notifier_phys_addr_invalidate(intel_hdmi->cec_notifier);

        return status;
}

First, this invalidates cec_notifier even though connector->detect_edid and
display_info are kept, and subsequent calls to intel_hdmi_force() ->
intel_hdmi_set_edid() while DDC is powered down return early before reaching
cec_notifier_set_phys_addr().

Second, returning connector_status_disconnected while connector->base.status
remains forced to connector_status_connected causes
drm_helper_probe_detect_ctx() to see ret != connector->status and increment
connector->epoch_counter on every probe:

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_probe_helper.c:drm_helper_probe_detect_ctx() {
    ...
        if (ret != connector->status)
                connector->epoch_counter += 1;
    ...
}

In intel_hotplug_detect_connector(), connector->base.status is not updated
when connector->base.force is set, so old_epoch_counter !=
connector->base.epoch_counter triggers INTEL_HOTPLUG_CHANGED and sends
hotplug uevents on every HPD or poll while the sink is in standby.
