[PATCH v2 1/4] ACPI: video: Handle fetching EDID that is longer than 256 bytes

The ACPI specification allows for an EDID to be up to 512 bytes but
the _DDC EDID fetching code will only try up to 256 bytes.

Modify the code to instead start at 512 bytes and work it's way
down instead.

As _DDC is now called up to 4 times on a machine debugging messages
are noisier than necessary.  Decrease from info to debug.

v1->v2:
 * Use for loop for acpi_video_get_edid()
 * Use one of Rafael's suggestions for acpi_video_device_EDID()
 * Decrease message level too

I was going to split this separately, but decided to keep it in the same
series in case there is any decision to change the interface to
acpi_video_get_edid() at the same series.
