Thanks for the patch. I think you're onto something, but I don't think
the patch is quite correct. That said, I'm not sure myself yet what
would be. ;)

Without the change, does intel_bios_is_valid_vbt() return true anyway?
I.e. do you get "Found valid VBT in ACPI OpRegion (Mailbox #4)\n" in
log? If not, which of the debug messages in intel_bios_is_valid_vbt() do
you get?

In the latter case, I suspect you'll end up with failure in intel_bios.c
with either "No MIPI config BDB found" or "No MIPI Sequence found,
parsing complete\n".

BR,
Jani.
