Thanks for adding this switch, however I am not sure about doing this
via a kernel parameter. Controlling this via a drm_property is another
way. But, that would require user space changes. 

Jani, 
What are your thoughts on adding another kernel parameter. iirc there
were some concerns in the mailing list about adding new params a while
back.
