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 regression added by patch:
        'commit 237ed86c693d ("drm/i915: Check live status before reading 
edid")'

V2

Ville:
- Add live_status =  true in the end of delay loop.

Jani:
- Initialize bool live_status with false;
- Change regression reference in the commit message.
- Use dev_priv instead of dev
- Move declaration of try at the loop
