    drm/intel: Fix initialization if startup happens in interlaced mode [v2]

But that one neglected to fix up the ironlake+ path.

This should fix the issue reported by Alfonso Fiore where booting with
only a HDMI cable connected to his TV failed to display anything. The
issue is that the bios set up things for 1080i and used the pannel
fitter to scale up the lower progressive resolutions. We failed to
clear the interlace bit in the PIPEACONF register, resulting in havoc.

v2: Be more paranoid and just unconditionally clear the field before
setting new values.
