I'm not sure we want to make exceptions for all the hardware
combination we face, but we should go for something more generic (and
easier to maintain instead).
IIRC, from the previous discussion, HDMI had a tolerancy requirement
in the standard. Do you know if there's such a thing for eDP? That
would solve the issue for all the eDP displays at once.
