Due to reuse of panels across vendors the orientation on one might not be appropriate on another. The trick is then to detect the combo of both the panel and the DMI data.

Note we already have a quirk mechanism for non upright mounted lcd-panels:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panel_orientation_quirks.c
note that the info here is shared with the simpledrm and
efifb drivers, so if the chose is made to extend this then
that needs to be taken into account.
