PCI/VGA: Don't assume the only VGA device on a system is `boot_vga`
PATCH v2 1/1 PCI/VGA: Don't assume the only VGA device on a system is `boot_vga`
Some systems ship with multiple display class devices but not all of them are VGA devices. If the "only" VGA device on the system is not used for displaying the image on the screen marking it as boot_vga because nothing was found is totally wrong.
This behavior actually leads to mistakes of the wrong device being advertised to userspace and then userspace can make incorrect decisions.
As there is an accurate boot_display sysfs file stop lying about boot_vga by assuming if nothing is found it's the right device.
