[PATCH] radeonfb: Fix panel detection on some laptops
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. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
