I think this begs the question, why don't we assume dual link lvds when
we know the native mode of the panel necessitates it?

I really wish the references were more conclusive on the dual channel
parameter, or that we had Tested-by on the patch with the module
parameter dropped. We don't have much chances for testing this, but if
the patch is valid, it's definitely cc: stable material.

As is, applying this gives me an uneasy feeling. :(

BR,
Jani.
