This isn't related to this patch, but this data type is weird.

It would be probably be more natural to break up ->disp_state into
two variables where one stored the display type and one stored the if
the displays were mirrored or single.  Can you connect a CRT and an
LCD at the same time?

Based on a quick look, the driver does not even use the single/mirror
info for anything...

It should be possible to connect CRT+LCD at the same time.

So then how does this switch statement work if they're both set?  It
reverts to the default case.  That's the oddness of using a bitfield
in a switch statement.

But again, this patch is fine as is, I was just wondering about that
unrelated thing.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. DISPTYPE_DISP2 is used to get the
type of the second output/port. It can be CRT2, LCD, or TV but only one
of them is set at a time, so the code should work. Then there is also
the first display port, which is always hardcoded to CRT1 (the external
VGA output). So CRT+LCD is possible but not in the same output.
