VivePro2-Linux-Driver Update kernel patch for kernel version 6.16.8

Starting with kernel version 6.16.8, the first kernel patch could no longer be applied because all EDID_QUIRK_NON_DESKTOP were wrapped in BIT( ) in this commit.

You shouldn't need this patch on 6.16 kernel, since VivePro2 announces its own usage using EDID, and kernel is able to detect that automatically

You can check that by using edid-decode:

> edid-decode /sys/class/drm/card1-DP-3/edid

Block 1, DisplayID Extension Block:
  Version: 2.0
  Extension Count: 0
  Display Product Primary Use Case: Head-mounted Virtual Reality (VR) display

This patch was required when the kernel was not respecting this field.

I just came across this issue when trying to upgrade my kernel. So are the other patches (0002-drm-edid-parse-DRM-VESA-dsc-bpp-target_fix.patch and 0003-drm-amd-use-fixed-dsc-bits-per-pixel-from-edid.patch) also not needed anymore?

You're right, it does work without it.

Those are needed for modes 4 and 5, but you'd better use the updated version: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/T/#u (Will add it to this repo later)

The patch I linked is for 6.18-rc3, rebased for 6.17 version is in this discord thread: https://discord.com/channels/1065291958328758352/1428185501008924672
