drm/i915/lvds: Remove 0xa0 DDC probe for LVDS

ickle · keith-packard · commit a6737ad15b4a · 2011-04-05T09:05:56.000-07:00
This is a revert of 428d2e8. This is broken in the same manner as for VGA: trying to write to an invalid address on the (currently 7-bit) i2c bus. One notable failure appears to be for MacBooks. The scary part was that it gave the appearance of working (i.e. reporting the absence of the panel) on various all-in-one machines with ghost LVDS panels and not failing for laptops.
