[PATCH] Allow non-desktop displays when not in strict mode

Considering the lukewarm reception of my last past request and Keith's recommendation, I've created and tested a new patch, to bring the intended functionality back, only prohibiting non-desktop devices if a regular desktop screen is present.

Previous email chain: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2018-March/169558.html

I believe I've finally found a way of sending emails with word wrap turned off.

Thank you for your time and help understanding how this submission process works.

This seems like a reasonable idea to me.
