Currently in our kernel we ioremap 8KB of memory for the
opregion and holds a maximum of 6KB sized RAW vbt data.

As per the latest opregion spec when the VBT size exceeds
6KB it cant be placed in the mailbox4 of the opregion, so
the physical address of the buffer where the Raw VBT is
stored will be mentioned in the mailbox3 with the VBT size
in the opregion version 2 and above.
A non-zero value here is an indication to driver that a
valid Raw VBT is stored here and driver should not refer
to mailbox4 for getting VBT. This is implemented in one
of the patches in this series.

link for the opregion spec : https://securewiki.ith.intel.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=48147378
(spec is under intel firewall)

In the version 3 of the MIPI sequence block, the size
field is 4 bytes so that it can support block size of
more than 64KB, but the vbt size field in the bdb header is only
2 bytes. Based on the below points this issue can be handled.
1. When the VBT is not present in the mailbox4 then VBT size
needs to be read from the mailbox3 and this VBT size field
is of 4 bytes which implies that it can be more than 64KB also.
2. If the VBT size is more than 64KB then the VBT size field
in the bdb header cant be relied. So its better to consider
the vbt size from the mailbox3 when the VBT is not present in
mailbox4.

Other patches implements the parsing of the new sequence type
which are added in the block 53.
