Right.

Well, I've been trying to get some EDID without much success.
Perhaps I am missing something? The I2C aux bus seems empty:

root at linaro-developer:/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-10# cat name
DP-AUX
root at linaro-developer:/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-10# i2cdetect -y 10
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

In any case, perhaps it's better to not stall this series
upstream - and work on second sourcing as follow up
patches?

Thanks,
