I'm sure this works, but this smells a little funny to me.

It feels a bit like a layering violation to identify eDP behavior
changes based on EDID. But I'm not sure there's any obvious way to
identify this device by its DPCD. The Sink OUI (from the linked
bugzilla) seems to be 0011F8, which doesn't match up to anything in my
oui.txt...

If we're going to export this it should probably get a drm_ prefix.

This also seems a bit weird, the 0x300-0x3FF registers belong to the
_source_ DP device. But then later...

Oh hey, you're writing (an) Intel OUI to the Source OUI, so now it
makes sense that you're writing to registers whose behavior the source
defines. But this does raise the question: is this just a convention
between Intel and this particular panel? Would we expect this to work
with other similar panels? Is there any way to know to expect this
convention from DPCD instead?
