The DEVICE_TYPE_eDP has been changed to 0x1806 in case of BYT which
can causes wrong detection failures for eDP. Reduce the number of bits
of interest in DEVICE_TYPE_eDP_BITS to just check most relevant and
conclusive ones and ensure they are set in device_class from VBT. This
will ensure that eDP detection works across platforms

The current bits will match correctly for 0x1806. I don't have a problem
with the patch per-say but would be nice to know what the troublesome
device type really was, if indeed there was one. I'm just slightly
worried that we might start to get false positives on some platforms if
we make it too relaxed.

Still waiting for results, but
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78795 was what motivated this.


Yeah and update from Jesse that forcefully returning true from the function make things work, I assumed this is the reason, without really checking that even the old values will result DEVIVE_TYPE_eDP & DEVICE_TYPE_eDP_BITS = 0x1806 :)

Nevertheless I still feel that a simplified bit mask is good to have. We need to check further on this issue Jesse. Let me know once you have results. It would be still better to spit out the device_type being read from VBT as a log to confirm that indeed it is coming as 0x1806 or can just ask to get the opregion dump from debugfs and we can check ourselves.
