Subject: drm/i915: blacklist lid status: Sony VGN-BX196VP, Dell Inspiron 700m
From: Surbhi Palande <surbhi.palande@canonical.com>

Sony VGN-BX196VP and Dell Inspiron 700m report lid status as closed when
it is open.  This leads to a "no connectors reported" error at startup. 
Blacklisting them, to always return a connected status for the default
lvds connector.
