Thanks for the review, merged to -fixes.

I've considered this, but then 90% of the code is the comment explaining
what's going on, so I've figured it's better to duplicate this. If we grow
more edp vbt hacks in ->get_config we can reconsider. But I hope not,
since atm we have no chance to light up the panel if the bios didn't do so
already :(
