drivers/intel/gma: Move extended VBT just below opregion
Currently the flow for opregion init is as below: 1. Allocate memory for opregion first (cbmem_add(opregion)) 2. Check if VBT size > 6 KiB (this requires extended VBT support) 3. In case of extended VBT requirement, we allocate another chunk of memory which is equal to size of VBT (cbmem_add(extended_vbt)) 4. Pass physical address pointer to OS via RVDA We can optimize the above flow to allocate single chunk of memory by checking VBT size in earlier step. The new optimized flow for opregion init is as below: 1. Check if VBT size > 6 KiB (this requires extended VBT support) 2. In case of extended VBT requirement, total memory to be allocated is calculated as sizeof(opregion) + sizeof (extended_vbt) In case where VBT size is < 6 KiB, total memory requirement would be equal to sizeof(opregion) 3. Based on above calculation, allocate single chunk of memory based on total size. This will also be helpful for the case of virtualization where guest users don't have access to physical address and when it needs relative address of VBT compared to absolute address. In case of opregion 2.1 spec, we need to pass relative address of VBT from opregion base in RVDA. This optimization will help in meeting this requirement since relative address of extended VBT is easy to get. This change will ensure that it meets opregion specification requirement and will be compatible with future versions as well. BUG=b:190019970 BRANCH=None TEST=check the address of extended VBT region and address is coming correctly.
