Ilia Mirkin 366d6b206f drm/nouveau/bios: fix offset calculation for BMPv1 bioses
commit 5d2f4767c4 upstream.

The only BIOS on record that needs the 14 offset has a bios major
version 2 but BMP version 1.01. Another bunch of BIOSes that need the 18
offset have BMP version 2.01 or 5.01 or higher. So instead of looking at the
bios major version, look at the BMP version. BIOSes with BMP version 0
do not contain a detectable script, so always return 0 for them.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
