The "correct" approach is clearly to just have the drm core change the 
i2c mux before requesting edid, but that's made difficult because of the 
absence of ordering guarantees in initialisation. I don't like quirking 
this, since we're then back to the situation of potentially having to 
add every new piece of related hardware to the quirk list.
