Cover letter [PATCH 0/1] vbt child device size fix
Since I had to revert David's commit from v4.2, we'll have to add it back to drm-intel-next-fixes for v4.3. So it's a good occasion to reflect on it.
I think it's problematic to be so strict with the VBT child device size. We generally go for really verbose error and debug messages in the dmesg and plunge on even when almost all hope is lost; it seems rather silly to effectively stop trying to get displays lit up if the VBT child device size is larger than expected. Hey, new stuff gets added at the end all the time. So log what happened, and move on.
Here's a modified version of David's patch to do just that.
BR,
Jani.
