Zhao Yakui e99da35f06 drm/i915: Check the LID device to decide whether the LVDS should be initialized
On some boxes the mobile chipset is used and there is no LVDS device. In such
case we had better not initialize the LVDS output device so that one pipe can
be used for other output device. For example: E-TOP.

But unfortunately the LVDS device is still initialized on the boxes based on
mobile chipset in KMS mode. It brings that this pipe occupied by LVDS can't be
used for other output device.

After checking the acpidump we find that there is no LID device on such boxes.
In such case we can use the LID device to decide whether the LVDS device should
be initialized.

If there is no LID device, we can think that there is no LVDS device. It is
unnecessary to initialize the LVDS output device.
If there exists the LID device, it will continue the current flowchart.

Maybe on some boxes there is no LVDS device but the LID device is found. In
such case it should be added to the quirk list.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
    http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
