Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Revert "ACPI / OSI: Add OEM _OSI string to enable dGPU direct output"

This reverts commit 28586a51eea666d5531bcaef2f68e4abbd87242c.

The original commit message didn't even make sense. AMD _does_ support it and
it works with Nouveau as well.

Also what was the issue being solved here? No references to any bugs and not
even explaining any issue at all isn't the way we do things.

And even if it means a muxed design, then the fix is to make it work inside the
driver, not adding some hacky workaround through ACPI tricks.

And what out of tree drivers do or do not support we don't care one bit anyway.
