And beside it's not right to consider VENC as always connected, as it isn't. 
The unknown status is there for a reason, to describe connectors for which we 
can't get any status information. The situation is different for DPI, DBI, SDI 
and DSI as those are on-board busses that connect to a non-removable panel, so 
we can say with a good confidence that the panel is connected (the situation 
could be changed with a hammer and a chisel, but that's unlikely to happen, 
hence the confidence).
