    [PATCH] radeonfb: Fix panel detection on some laptops · 6340e7ba
    Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
    The code in radeonfb looking for the BIOS image currently uses the BIOS
    ROM if any, and falls back to the RAM image if not found.  This is
    unfortunatly not correct for a bunch of laptops where the real panel
    data are only present in the RAM image.
    
    This works around this problem by preferring the RAM image on mobility
    chipsets.  This is definitely not the best workaround, we need some arch
    support for linking the RAM image to the PCI ID (preferrably by having
    the arch snapshot it during boot, isolating us completely from the
    details of where this image is in memory).  I'll see how we can get such
    an improvement later.
