[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 3/3] drm/i915: fix FDI lane calculation

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni at intel.com>

The previous code was making the bps value 5% higher than what the
spec says, which was enough to make certain VGA modes require 3 lanes
instead of 2, which makes us reject these modes on Haswell since it
only has 2 FDI lanes. For previous gens this was not much of a
problem, since they had 4 lanes, and requiring more lanes than the
needed is ok, as long as you have all the lanes.

Notice that this might improve the case where we use pipes B and C on
Ivy Bridge since both pipes only have 4 lanes to share (see
ironlake_check_fdi_lanes).

As it is, this one will make the list of supported modes on Haswell VGA bigger,
so we could skip 3.8 and send this through 3.9, so we have plently of time to
get confident this won't break older platforms.
