[PATCH] drm/edid: Allow comma separated edid binaries. (v3)

Bob Paauwe bob.j.paauwe at intel.com
Thu Aug 27 10:04:13 PDT 2015


Allow comma separated filenames in the edid_firmware parameter.

For example:

edid_firmware=eDP-1:edid/1280x480.bin,DP-2:edid/1920x1080.bin

v2: Use strsep() to simplify parsing of comma seperated string. (Matt)
    Move initial bail before strdup. (Matt)
v3: Changed conditionals after while loop to make more readable (Jani)
    Updated kernel-parameters.txt to reflect changes (Jani)
