Subject: [024/107] drm/radeon/kms/atom: fix duallink on some early DCE3.2 cards

2.6.39-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Alex Deucher <alexdeucher@...il.com>

commit 8323fa6ba313ae2664420ec34d56a7fb0bbbe525 upstream.

Certain revisions of the vbios on DCE3.2 cards have a bug
in the transmitter control table which prevents duallink from
being enabled properly on some cards.  The action switch statement
jumps to the wrong offset for the OUTPUT_ENABLE action.  The fix
is to use the ENABLE action rather than the OUTPUT_ENABLE action
on the affected cards.  In fixed version of the vbios, both
actions jump to the same offset, so the change should be safe.
