[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Implement manual override of LVDS single/dual channel mode

From: Mike Isely <isely at isely.net>

The logic for LVDS setup in the Intel driver needs to know whether the
LVDS port should be in single or dual channel mode when calculating
video timing.  It had been answering this question by probing the
current hardware configuration, under the assumption that the video
BIOS would have already set it up.  But the video BIOS would actually
have to know how to set up the LVDS port for the connected device,
which is a bad assumption if the display device is not integral to the
processor board - a situation that can exist for embedded situation.
This is yet one more case where the Intel driver had been implicitly
relying on the video BIOS for display configuration.

This changes creates a new kernel option, lvds_channels, which can be
used to override the probe.  Setting this allows the user to specify
the number of channels in use, avoiding the possibly erroneous probe
of the hardware.  Almost nobody should ever need to touch this option,
and its default value of zero is interpreted to preserve existing
probe-the-hardware behavior.  But if the video BIOS gets this "wrong",
then it can be overridden by setting lvds_channels to 1 or 2,
indicating single or dual channel LVDS mode, respectively.
