Hi Thomas,

It's great to see more people working on removing raw edid from amd
display driver in favor of drm_edid.

I glanced over your series and I found it similar to my recent proposal
to migrate amdgpu_dm_connector from edid to drm_edid. You can find the
v5 of this work here:
https://lore.kernel.org/amd-gfx/20240807203207.2830-1-mwen@igalia.com/

I believe it's more productive if we can join efforts and improve that
proposal instead of duplicating work. I'll look at your patches more
carefully this week. If you can review my work, I'd be happy to hear
your feedback too.

Thanks,

Melissa
