Subject: drm/ast: Fix test for VGA enabled

From: Y.C. Chen <yc_chen@aspeedtech.com>

commit 905f21a49d388de3e99438235f3301cabf0c0ef4 upstream.

The test to see if VGA was already enabled is doing an unnecessary
second test from a register that may or may not have been initialized
to a valid value. Remove it.
