I've held on to some old spec versions (bdb version 177 has sequence v1,
bdb version 185 has sequence v2). Both v1 and v2 have 2 bytes payload
for the GPIO element.

The *meaning* of the first of those bytes has changed from v1->v2
though. Can't do much about that here, it's up to the generic vbt dsi
"driver"...

The spec with bdb version 185 has this.

I contemplated adding a check for v2, but then I thought it probably
doesn't really matter all that much. If we get an i2c elem with v1 and
reject it, we'll probably end up with a black screen. If we just assume
it's an i2c element but it isn't, it'll trip over something else later.

You'll love this. In v2 the max is actually the whole byte i.e. 255. In
v3 they added a length field for these operations for forward
compatibility (can now skip unknown new operations). And that's 8
bits. So the header + payload for the i2c data can't exceed 255, so
there's now an arbitrary 240 byte limit for i2c payload in v3.

BR,
Jani.
