    drm/i915: Ignore "digital output" and "not HDMI output" bits for eDP detection · 972e7d71
    Ville Syrjälä authored
    Ignore DEVICE_TYPE_NOT_HDMI_OUTPUT and DEVICE_TYPE_DIGITAL_OUTPUT when
    trying to determine the presence of eDP based on the VBT child device
    type. Apparently a significant portion of VLV systems have these bits
    set incorrectly, and so we currently fail to detect eDP on said systems.
    
    This is based on an earlier patch [1] from Andreas Lampersperger.
    Instead of ignoring the bits just on VLV as was done in the orignal
    patch, we now ignore them for all platforms. We should still have
    enough bits in there to avoid false positives (unless the VBT is totally
    bonkers).
    
    Quoting the orignal patch:
    > When the i915.ko identify an eDP output on a valleyview
    > board, it should be more slackly. The reason for that is,
    > that BIOS DATA TABLES generated with intel BMP (Binary
    > Modification Program) do not set bits for NOT_HDMI or
    > DIGITAL_OUTPUT on the device type. Due to Adolfo
    > Sanchez from Intel EMGD, this is not possible.
    > To solve this problem and enable i915.ko on embedded
    > vlv boards with eDP, we ignore this two bits.
