Know the problem of being awake too long :). I will raise a bug.

That would explain why some similar boards have 24bit LVDS and others 
only 18bit LVDS.

Interesting.

I will try to find the time to look at this in more detail. GPU/DRM is 
not something I have done any real work on in the past so I do not know 
how it all fits together. The overkill on the code changes is the 
result, as that way I don't need to understand where and why the helper 
function (radeon_dp_getsinktype) gets called or what other code paths 
can be executed that could fail.

I will wait for Alex to have a think about it and respond before I do 
any more - that way I can finish the work I am paid to do first :).
