Having a mode where the display hardware is present but we try to pretend it isn't just leads to massive headaches when trying to reason what the fallout might be from skipping some random bits of programming. Let's just neuter INTEL_DISPLAY_ENABLED so that we treat the hardware as fully present, except we just don't register any outputs. That's still rather sketchy if the outputs are already enabled when the driver is loaded. I think the simplest solution would be to probe everything as normal and just return disconnected" from all .detect() hooks. That would avoid anything automagically enabling those outputs, but the driver could then shut things down using the normal codepaths.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
