SubjectRe: [PATCH] drm: do not call detect for connectors which are forced on

Actually, I think this creates a regression on vc4 at least (and
possibly i915?), when the HDMI scrambling is on.

When a monitor is disconnected and then connected again, the mode won't
change by itself, but it will lose its scrambling status. The way we
dealt with it (and documented here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220829134731.213478-9-maxime@cerno.tech/)
is to have detect enabling the scrambler again if it detects a
disconnection/connection transition.

If we force the status on all the time, then we will never get called
and we won't have the opportunity to enable the scrambler again.
