Thanks for review comment. 

"ctx->raw_edid != fake_edid_info" means that the edid sent by the user through
the ictl system call - vidi_connection_ioctl - is used instead of fake one -
face_edid_info.
In this case, ctx->raw_edid object needs to be released because ctx->raw_edid
object is allocated and the edid object sent by user is copied to the ctx-
>raw_edid by kmemdup(). :)

Thanks,
