Is the pineview case really correct?
The special handling for pineview in some places in intel_panel.c is
just for omitting the bit 0, IIRC. It doesn't mean that the value is
twice larger.
BTW, this handling of bit 0 seems necessary not only for pineview but
for the older chips (gen < 4) in general, too, as being discussed in
another thread of LKML. 915GM hits the with problem of bit-0, for
example.
