I'm not sure why drivers would need to compare EDIDs.

The only user was added in commit eb815442e840 ("drm/amd/display: don't
create new dc_sink if nothing changed at detection") with absolutely no
explanation why.

Other drivers use connector->epoch_counter to see if the EDID or status
changed.


BR,
Jani.
