[PATCH] i915: slow acpi_lid_open() causes flickering - V2

[Thomas Meyer <thomas@m3y3r.de>]

acpi_lid_open() could take up to 10ms on my computer.  Some component is
calling the drm GETCONNECTOR ioctl many times in a row.  This results in
flickering (for example, when starting a video).  Fix it by assuming an
always connected lid status.
