The current logic to bind device doesn't work with your system, that
logic is there for a long time so I prefer not to change that, instead,
I can change the newly added function acpi_video_device_in_dod to let it
directly compare the 0-12 bits of the ID to decide if the video output
device is in the _DOD list. Can you please try the following patch?
diff --git a/drivers/acpi/video.c b/drivers/acpi/video.c
index 41e6b977ceb2..185a57d13723 100644
--- a/drivers/acpi/video.c

- if (video->attached_array[i].bind_info == device)
+ if ((video->attached_array[i].value.int_val & 0xfff) ==

}
Thanks,
Aaron
