Subject: [PATCH] drm/ast: Clear preserved bits from register output value

Preserve the I/O register bits in __ast_write8_i_masked() as specified
by preserve_mask. Accidentally OR-ing the output value into these will
overwrite the register's previous settings.

Fixes display output on the AST2300, where the screen can go blank at
boot. The driver's original commit 312fec1405dd ("drm: Initial KMS
driver for AST (ASpeed Technologies) 2000 series (v2)") already added
the broken code. Commit 6f719373b943 ("drm/ast: Blank with VGACR17 sync
enable, always clear VGACRB6 sync off") triggered the bug.
