I am not sure if this is a bug in DRM or a bad implementation of
dw-hdmi. I've seen at least two more drivers that do the edid
reading at the .detect() callback: nouveau and gma500. This is
noticeable if while sending video the edid changes like in a
compliance environment. In the environment that I tested I was
sending video and swapped an edid that had support for AI packets
to another one without support and I noticed that although the
hotplug is generated the edid was not being updated.
