FW: VGA rom can not be loaded by SEABIOS

[Wang, Qingpei]

Hi Kevin,

I have already found the reason. It is only because "791F != 791f". I
just use 791F in cbfs.

It will load both "pciVVVV,DDDD.rom" and "vgaroms/*" - the
pciVVVV,DDDD.rom format is preferred.

hi kevin,
    is it necessary to make seabios can disable the case sensitive while
searching the VGA rom by name?
