Title: Support for non-CEA resolutions and DVI

This pull request will update the PKGBUILD to apply a patch "HDMI-non-CEA-and-DVI.pat" to the kernel source.

The patch itself does two things:
1. Adds support for non-CEA resolutions.
2. Adds support for HDMI <==> DVI converter cables.

I have cleanly built using these exact changes on my cubox-i quad. The only thing I had to do was change the arch=('arm') to arch=('armv7h') in PKGBUILD. I decided not to include this in the pull request because it appears that that's preferred.

I can confirm that the resulting 3.0.35 kernel does now support non-CEA resolutions and HDMI <==> DVI converter cables.

Please note: I did not create the patch, it actually comes from here: https://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm-extra/blob/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-cubox-i-3.0.35/mxc_hdmi-dont-require-cea-mode.patch
