[PATCH] drm/i915/tv: Use polling rather than interrupt-based hotplug

[Chris Wilson]

The documentation recommends that we should use a polling method for TV
detection as this is more power efficient than the interrupt based
mechanism (as the encoder can be completely switched off). A secondary
effect is that leaving the hotplug enabled seems to be causing pipe
underruns as reported by Hugh Dickins on his Crestline.

Hugh, does this prevent the persistent PIPE UNDERRUN issue?
