Ville Syrjälä ca3b3fa344 drm/i915: Consult VBT "LVDS config" bits to determine whether internal LVDS is present
VBT seems to have some bits to tell us whether the internal LVDS port
has something hooked up. In theory one might expect the VBT to not have
a child device for the LVDS port if there's no panel hooked up, but
in practice many VBTs still add the child device. The "LVDS config" bits
seem more reliable though, so let's check those.

So far we've used the "LVDS config" bits to check for eDP support on
ILK+, and disable the internal LVDS when the value is 3. That value
is actually documented as "Both internal LVDS and SDVO LVDS", but in
practice it looks to mean "eDP" on all the ilk+ VBTs I've seen. So let's
keep that interpretation, but for pre-ILK we will consider the value
3 to also indicate the presence of the internal LVDS.

Currently we have 25 DMI matches for the "no internal LVDS" quirk. In an
effort to reduce that let's toss in a WARN when the DMI match and VBT
both tell us that the internal LVDS is not present. The hope is that
people will report a bug, and then we can just nuke the corresponding
entry from the DMI quirk list. Credits to Jani for this idea.

v2: Split the basic int_lvds_support thing to a separate patch (Jani)
v3: Rebase
v4: Limit this to VBT version >= 134

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
