Do we have any need to differentiate between this and what VBT has? We
could just treat dev_priv->vbt as "VBT or what BIOS did", and do
dev_priv->vbt.lvds_use_ssc = true; here, possibly with a
DRM_DEBUG_KMS. It would simplify code elsewhere and be less error prone.
We already do a similar thing for the eDP bpp (see intel_dp.c, look for
"This is a big fat ugly hack").
