drm/nouveau/acpi: allow non-optimus setups to load vbios from acpi
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There appear to be a crop of new hardware where the vbios is not
available from PROM/PRAMIN, but there is a valid _ROM method in ACPI.
The data read from PCIROM almost invariably contains invalid
instructions (still has the x86 opcodes), which makes this a low-risk
way to try to obtain a valid vbios image.
