Oh, I think the code is problematic too.

Please avoid all struct edid based interfaces, in this case
drm_connector_update_edid_property(). They will be removed in the
future, and adding more is counter-productive. Everything should be
struct drm_edid based going forward.

Of course, actually grafting the EDID needs struct edid. And that's kind
of annoying too. Do we really want to spread the EDID details all over
the place? This one combines drm_edid.h structs and magic numbers in a
jumble. I'm kind of hoping we'd get rid of driver usage of struct edid,
though that's a long road. But we've made a lot of progress towards it,
there aren't that many places left that directly look at the guts of
EDID, and most of it is centralized in drm_edid.c.

Of course, not using the standard drm_edid_read* interfaces also lacks
on features such as providing the EDID via the firmware loader or
debugfs, which can be handy for testing and debugging, but that's a
minor issue.

Yeah, unplugging and replugging the same display with the same EDID
isn't a problem for other drivers, and they don't have to do this kind
of stuff to trick userspace. Maybe vmwgfx should handle (or simulate)
hotplugs better?

And preferrably let the EDID functions handle epoch counter updates
instead of doing it yourself, if at all possible.

BR,
Jani.
