*sad trombone*

Trying to figure this out automatically in kernel is better than a
quirk.

A quirk is better than requiring the user to provide an override EDID
via the firmware loader (drm.edid_firmware parameter).

Requiring an override EDID is better than adding a module parameter.

I'd much rather we exhausted the other options before adding module
parameters to address specific issues with EDIDs. That's a rabbit hole
with no end.


BR,
Jani.
