drm/i915: disable LVDS downclock by default
Many platform support this feature, and it can provide significant power savings when the reduced refresh rate is low. However, on some platforms a secondary (reduced) timing is provided but not actually supported by the hardware. This results in undesirable flicker at runtime. So disable the feature by default, but allow users to opt-in to the reduced clock behavior with a new module parameter, lvds_downclock, that can be set to 1 to enable the feature.
