[PATCH v4 8/8] PCI: Add a new 'boot_display' attribute

[Mario Limonciello]

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@xxxxxxx>

On systems with multiple GPUs there can be uncertainty which GPU is the
primary one used to drive the display at bootup. In order to disambiguate
this add a new sysfs attribute 'boot_display' that uses the output of
video_is_primary_device() to populate whether a PCI device was used for
driving the display.
