Too much midlayer. The recipe for modesetting for a particular chipset
goes in e.g. intel_display_pch_ibx.c and that recipe includes the w/a
with the calls to common code in intel_display_pch.c and beyond. (It
should ideally be a straight lift out of the bspec of the modesetting
sequence.) Not the other way around. Otherwise you just have the same
tangle of code just split over many different files and the coupling
masked through complex assemblages of vtables.
