Agreed.

If it were just for enabling, I'd start some igt tool to generate a
basic VBT to use with i915.vbt_firmware and the firmware loader. It's
the existing products that ended up depending on the defaults that are
the real issue I think.

IIRC they were some Haswell or Broadwell era Chromebooks. They probably
don't use very many ports, but in theory it could be A-D,F on DDI
platforms (E requires VBT child device). On gen 11 it could be A-E, with
F requiring VBT child device.

A-F covers all cases, but does not try to create G-I or any further
future ports.
