Zhao Yakui a2565377a5 drm/i915: Update LVDS connector status when receiving ACPI LID event
Dirk reports that nothing is displayed on LVDS when using ubuntu 9.1 after
close/reopen the LID. And I also reproduce this issue on another laptop.
After some tests and debug, it seems that it is related with that the
LVDS status is not updated in time in course of suspend/resume.

Now the LID state is used to check whether the LVDS is connected or
disconnected. And when the LID is closed, it means that the LVDS is
disconnected. When it is reopened, it means that the LVDS is connected.
At the same time on some distributions the LID event is also used to put
the system into suspend state. When the LID is closed, the system will enter
the suspend state. When the LID is reopened, the system will be resumed.

In such case when the LID is closed, user-space script will receive the LID
notification event and  detect the LVDS as disconnected. Then the system will
enter the suspended state. When the LID is reopened, the system will be
resumed. As the LVDS status is not updated in course of resume, it will cause
that the LVDS connector is marked as unused and disabled. After the resume is
finished,user-space script will try to configure the display mode for LVDS.
But unfortunately as the LVDS status is not updated in time and it is still
marked as disconnected, the LVDS and its corresponding CRTC will be disabled
again in the function of drm_helper_disable_unused_functions after changing
mode for LVDS.

So we had better check and update the status of LVDS connector after receiving
the LID notication event. Then after the system is resumed from suspended
state, we can set the display mode for LVDS correctly.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
    http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
