Agreed!

Also agreed.
In addition to be really specific this should also match by display type
(via EDID?).

So far this was only tested with the matte panel.
(I forgot to mention that, sorry)

Will do for the next revision, but let's gather some feedback first.

I'm wondering what the longterm strategy will have to be.
Given that there are different kinds of displays, and new ones will be
released, each new display type will require an update to the firmware.

When there are no firmware updates for a device anymore, but new,
compatible displays are released, then the kernel will need the quirks
again.
