As I said, it doesn't belong in the VLV patchset.  It has nothing to do
with touch hw though; it's just a way for us to get any OEM custom
modes out of the VBT.  For example on a given platform the VBT panel
data may have a certain timing, but an additional timing may also be
preferred, which might be specified in this block.

So we should parse it, and add it to the appropriate connector's mode
list.  This patch only does the parsing, but doesn't add it to the mode
list, so isn't useful by itself.

At any rate, I'll drop it from this series.
