[PATCH] gpu/drm: Parse all ext. blocks in EDID

From: Louis Li <Ching-Shih.Li at amd.com>

[Why] EDID parser cannot correctly parse EDID which includes
multiple same extension blocks (e.g. two same ext. blocks: <Tag=0x02: CTA
 861>, are included in EDID defined in test case HF1-66, HDMI 2.0 CTS),
since it only parse the first target ext. block only. This causes CTS fail.

[How]
Original parser searches ext. block from HEAD of EDID,
and always return the first target ext. block.
Solution is to find all ext. blocks and pass start address
of each ext. block to parser to handle.

By this change, no matter how ext. block is placed in EDID, all
target ext. blocks are handled.
