    drm/i915/vlv: re-enable hotplug detect based probing on VLV/BYT


which given this is affecting some of the top 10 Amazon selling new
laptops and has not been fixed for 3.14-rc should IMHO be reverted until
such time as any needed debugging for the MIPI panels is done for this
driver and the hotplug probing doesn't break the workarounds.

Likewise it wants pulling from any -stable backports.
