Applied to 3.14.2 and tested on MinnowBoardMax A0 hardware (BayTrail-I,
Atom E3825).

* With no display connected, the boot no longer hangs and DRM prints
sensible messages during boot:
[    5.968837] [drm] GMBUS [i915 gmbus vga] timed out, falling back to bit
banging on pin 2

* If a display is subsequently connected and X is restarted, it behaves as
expected.

* Booting with a display connected continue to work as expected.
