See also [1]. The patches there have been applied via the linux-doc
tree.

Cc: linux-doc, Jon and Dave.

The Documentation/EDID directory was merged by Dave along with the EDID
firmware loader mechanism in da0df92b5731 ("drm: allow loading an EDID
as firmware to override broken monitor").

I think it would be reasonable to handle the EDID stuff via dri-devel
and the drm trees, and modify MAINTAINERS to reflect that. Thoughts?

(And in the long run we should use or write a tool to generate EDIDs
instead of using assembly with macros. And like Jon already mentioned in
the other thread, even the assembly probably shouldn't be under
Documentation. But I digress.)


BR,
Jani.
