So it looks like getting the rotation from the firmware will not be enough in some cases, I believe we will need a DMI based table for this, at least for my model, at which point we might just as well use it everywhere assuming this is not something which happens often (famous last words). An other issue is we need to somehow communicate the info about how the screen is mounted rotated or upside down in the frame to userspace, so that e.g. display control panels will show it as not rotated (because that is how it looks to the user) while in reality the kms driver is rotating it by 90 degrees (because the device is using a portait screen in landscape mode).
