[PATCH] drm/bridge: sii902x: Fall back to standard modes

The following happens when connection a DVI output driven
from the SiI9022 using a DVI-to-VGA adapter plug:

i2c i2c-0: sendbytes: NAK bailout.
i2c i2c-0: sendbytes: NAK bailout.

Then no picture. Apparently the I2C engine inside the SiI9022
is not smart enough to try to fall back to DDC I2C. Or the
vendor have not integrated the electronics properly. I don't
know which one it is.

By using standard modes as fallback, the bridge probes nicely
with a minor warning and we get picture.

This code is inspired by similar code in the dumb VGA bridge.
