The obvious first comment is that you're not necessarily running on an
intel device. But let's put that aside, there's a more important
question.

What problem does this solve? The line directly after checks for a VGA
connector being present. VGA via DP not good enough? If there's
problems with that, surely there are better ways to get around it than
ignoring it.
