drm/i915: Addin-offset is an unreliable indicator of LVDS presence (v2)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
My Samsung N210 has a VBT with DEVICE_TYPE_INT_LFP with a zero
addin-offset. With the check in place, the panel was declared absent.

v2: Only trust BIOS writers that have graduated to writing OpRegions.
(We are all doomed.)
