From 28586a51eea666d5531bcaef2f68e4abbd87242c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Hung Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 12:00:54 +0800 Subject: ACPI / OSI: Add OEM _OSI string to enable dGPU direct output For HP Inc. mobile workstation with hybrid graphics support, dGPU can directly output to external monitors; however, Nvidia and AMD's Linux drivers aren't able to support this feature. The OEM _OSI string "Linux-HPI-Hybrid-Graphics" is used by BIOS to implement dGPU direct output to external monitors. The form of the OEM _OSI strings is defined by each OEMs and is discussed in Documentation/acpi/osi.txt. Signed-off-by: Alex Hung Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
