So I had a look at that. We would need to remove the connector argument
from drm_do_get_edid(). The connector currently stores a few fields
related to EDID parsing:

        /**
         * @null_edid_counter: track sinks that give us all zeros for the EDID.
         * Needed to workaround some HW bugs where we get all 0s
         */
        int null_edid_counter;

        /** @bad_edid_counter: track sinks that give us an EDID with invalid checksum */
        unsigned bad_edid_counter;

        /**
         * @edid_corrupt: Indicates whether the last read EDID was corrupt. Used
         * in Displayport compliance testing - Displayport Link CTS Core 1.2
         * rev1.1 4.2.2.6
         */
        bool edid_corrupt;

We would need to decouple that from drm_connector. One option would be
to create a new drm_edid structure that would store those three fields,
as well as a struct edid, and return it from drm_do_get_edid() instead
of the raw struct edid. Would you prefer a different solution ? Do you
think that's a prerequisite to for this patch ?
