Thanks!

I think all of the patches here are connected in theme, but
independent. Either way is fine by me.

This is an annoying one, to be honest, and linked to the historical fact
that we filter some EDID blocks that have an incorrect checksum.

(Some blocks, yes. We don't filter all blocks, because there are some
nasty docks out there that modify the CTA block but fail to update the
checksum, and filtering the CTA blocks would render the display
useless. So we accept CTA blocks with incorrect checksums. But reject
others. Yay.)

IMO the real fix would be to stop mucking with the EDID, and just expose
it to userspace, warts and all. We could still ignore the EDID blocks
with incorrect checksum while using it ourselves if we want to. And with
that, we could just have a function that checks the last EDID block's
checksum, and stop using this ->real_edid_checksum thing.

Anyway, yes, we could add the function already.

BR,
Jani.
