Are you looking for something in particular? The patch obviously works
because edp_bpp is never set. The reason seems to be

[    1.634759] [drm:intel_parse_bios], VBT signature missing

In the source, a few lines above that message, we have something that
looks suspciciously like an off-by-one error:

	/* Scour memory looking for the VBT signature */
	for (i = 0; i + 4 < size; i++) {

If that matters or not, I do not know. Any more tests would have to
wait until tomorrow.

Thanks,
Henrik
