[PATCH] DRM: ignore invalid EDID extensions

[sam tygier]

Without this patch i get no display (X or VT) on myEIZO S2242W monitor when using KMS

This was discussed back in september, this is the second version of the patch based on ajax's comments. i have opened a bug for the issue:

Thanks

Subject: [PATCH] DRM: ignore invalid EDID extensions

Currently an invalid EDID extension will cause the whole EDID to be considered invalid. Instead just drop the invalid extensions, and return the valid ones. The base block is modified to claim to have the number valid extensions, and the check sum is updated.

For my EIZO S2242W the base block is fine, but the extension block is all zeros. Without this patch I get no X and no VTs.
