Add I2C support for the DDC bus and also default mode initialization by reading monitor EDID to the s3fb driver. Tested on Trio64V+ (2 cards), Trio64V2/DX, Virge (3 cards), Virge/DX (3 cards), Virge/GX2, Trio3D/2X (4 cards), Trio3D. Will probably not work on Trio32 - my 2 cards have DDC support in BIOS that looks different from the other cards but the DDC pins on the VGA connector are not connected. Signed-off-by: Ondrej Zary <redacted>Acked-by: Ondrej Zajicek <redacted>Is there much reason to leave this optional? Or are you simply waiting for testing feedback from Trio32 users before default-enabling it? It would generally be nice to avoid these sorts of config options for a specific driver if it already is quite capable of handling the unsupported cases and has a reasonable fallback on defaults via the error path.If the config option is not desired, I'll remove it, I don't like it either. Just did it like some other fb drivers do. The only reason why someone would want to disable DDC is probably to have I2C-less kernel.
Oh, that's right, i2c is one of those pain in the ass subsystems that refuses to provide a stubbed implementation of the API for i2c disabled systems. Lets just stick with the first version for now.
