The ASUS GA605W has a NVIDIA PCI VGA device and an AMD PCI display device.

```
65:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation AD106M [GeForce
RTX 4070 Max-Q / Mobile] (rev a1)
66:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
Strix [Radeon 880M / 890M] (rev c1)
```

The fallback logic in vga_is_boot_device() flags the NVIDIA dGPU as the
boot VGA device, but really the eDP is connected to the AMD PCI display
device.

Drop this case to avoid marking the NVIDIA dGPU as the boot VGA device.

Hi Mario,

I can verify that this does leave the `boot_vga` attribute set as 0 for the NVIDIA device.

Does the following diff work for you?
This variant should be less risky for most systems.

diff --git a/drivers/pci/vgaarb.c b/drivers/pci/vgaarb.c
index 78748e8d2dba..3fb734cb9c1b 100644
--- a/drivers/pci/vgaarb.c
+++ b/drivers/pci/vgaarb.c
@@ -675,6 +675,9 @@ static bool vga_is_boot_device(struct vga_device *vgadev)
                  return true;
          }

+       if (vga_arb_integrated_gpu(&pdev->dev))
+               return true;
+

The problem is that the integrated graphics does not support VGA.

Right, so the check has to be used much earlier.

I wonder does the integrated GFX have _DOD/_DOS while the discrete one doesn't? If that's the case, vga_arb_integrated_gpu() can be used to differentiate which one is the boot GFX.
