So absolutely no video code in the firmware at all? Ok. What I'd really 
rather see here is some generic way for platform-specific code to pass 
the correct value to the driver. You're already exposing various things 
via the chromeos-acpi code, can you use that to set things up sensibly? 
It's obviously possible to use the command line to transfer this 
information, it's just considered pretty poor style.
