When an HDMI connector is forced enabled (e.g. via video=HDMI-A-1:e for laptop clamshell operation) and the external monitor enters DPMS standby, some monitors (such as the BenQ GW2790Q) power down their internal DDC/I2C controller, causing SCDC/EDID reads to fail with -ENXIO (-6).
Currently, intel_hdmi_force() unconditionally calls intel_hdmi_unset_edid() before calling intel_hdmi_set_edid(). When drm_edid_read_ddc() returns NULL during monitor standby, the connector's cached detect_edid is wiped out and drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes() falls back to the 1024x768 VESA no-EDID mode. When the monitor wakes back up, because the connector status remained forced to connector_status_connected, no hotplug state transition occurs and the display remains stuck at 1024x768 until a manual mode probe (such as toggling the laptop lid) is triggered. Fix this by retaining the previously cached detect_edid when a DDC read fails on a forced-on connector. When the monitor is awake or a different monitor is plugged in, drm_edid_read_ddc() succeeds and replaces the cached EDID normally.
