Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Ignore OpRegion panel type on Ivy Bridge + Mobile

On Terra Mobile Ultrabook 1450 II (Core i5-3337U, i915 devid = 0x166),
the screen is tiled in many 480×320 screens (like a mosaic) since v4.7.
This laptop is simply unusable.

I have bisected the cause to commit a05628195a0d ("drm/i915: Get
panel_type from OpRegion panel details").

Like for Skylake, it seems that using the OpRegion panel type (here, 0)
causes the problem, whereas the VBT panel type (here, 7) gives a normal
display. See commit aeddda06c1a7 ("drm/i915: Ignore panel type from
OpRegion on SKL") for background on this Skylake fix.

This patch ignores OpRegion panel type for Ivy Bridge + Mobile chips.
