So I guess the conclusion would be to try to use
drm_connector_update_edid_property that way we will avoid duplicating
drm_edid_equal code in all drivers. However this might
require ensuring that drm_connector_update_edid_property is always
called when we get a hotplug, so there we can check if edid had changed
and send uevent, if needed.
