Some manufacturers have intentionally put an EDID that differs from
the EDID on the internal panel on laptops.

Attempt to fetch this EDID if it exists and prefer it over the EDID
that is provided by the panel.

Imagine the EDID returned by acpi_video_get_edid() has edid->extensions
bigger than 4. Of course it should not, but you have no guarantees, and
it originates outside of the kernel.

The real fix is to have the function return a struct drm_edid which
tracks the allocation size separately. Unfortunately, it requires a
bunch of changes along the way. We've mostly done it in i915, and I've
sent a series to do this in drm/bridge [1].

Bottom line, we should stop using struct edid in drivers. They'll all
parse the info differently, and from what I've seen, often wrong.



Thanks for the feedback. In that case this specific change should probably rebase on the Melissa's work https://lore.kernel.org/amd-gfx/20240126163429.56714-1-mwen@xxxxxxxxxx/ after she takes into account the feedback.

Let me ask you this though - do you think that after that's done should we let all drivers get EDID from BIOS as a priority? Or would you prefer that this is unique to amdgpu?

Something like:

1) If user specifies on kernel command line and puts an EDID in /lib/firmware use that.
2) If BIOS has EDID in _DDC and it's eDP panel, use that.
3) Get panel EDID.

BR,
Jani.
