+/**
+ * DOC: Video BIOS Table (VBT)
+ *
+ * The Video BIOS Table, or VBT, provides platform and board specific
+ * configuration information to the driver that is not discoverable or available
+ * through other means. The configuration is mostly related to display
+ * hardware. The VBT is available via the ACPI OpRegion or, on older systems, in
+ * the PCI ROM.
+ *
+ * The VBT consists of a VBT Header (defined as &struct vbt_header), BDB Header
+ * (&struct bdb_header), and a number of BIOS Data Blocks (BDB) that contain the
+ * actual configuration information. The VBT Header, and thus the VBT, begins
+ * with "$VBT" signature. The VBT Header contains the offset of the BDB
+ * Header. The data blocks are concatenated after the BDB Header. The data
+ * blocks have a 1-byte Block ID, 2-byte Block Size, and Block Size bytes of
+ * data. (Block 53, the MIPI Sequence Block is an exception.)
+ *
+ * The driver parses the VBT during load. The relevant information is stored in
+ * driver private data for ease of use, and the actual VBT is not read after
+ * that.
