I noticed an issue recently when I started using my monitors in portrait for work. After cold boot the orientation of the screens was messed up.

Interestingly enough my system booted just find the rotation issue is gone.
Long story short, I'm really happy that I found this fix. However I would like to know what I actually did patch in my system and what it does to it and why? I'd appreciate if someone with more insights of that area could shortly explain the patch to me.
