Subject: drm/radeon/kms/atom: fix duallink on some early DCE3.2 cards
From: Alex Deucher <alexdeuc...@gmail.com>
commit 8323fa6ba313ae2664420ec34d56a7fb0bbbe525 upstream.
Certain revisions of the vbios on DCE3.2 cards have a bug
in the transmitter control table which prevents duallink from
being enabled properly on some cards. The action switch statement
jumps to the wrong offset for the OUTPUT_ENABLE action. The fix
is to use the ENABLE action rather than the OUTPUT_ENABLE action
on the affected cards. In fixed version of the vbios, both
actions jump to the same offset, so the change should be safe.
