We don't have the source to the proprietary drivers, so we can't fix
them; and even if we did somehow obtain the source, we wouldn't have
permission to distribute the fixed version.
The only solution is for the open drivers to improve to the point where
can we drop the proprietary drivers altogether.
Since that is a solution that does not involve Plymouth, it doesn't make
sense to keep the bug open just to track whether or not we're there yet.
