[PATCH v6 00/14] drm/amd/display: more drm_edid to AMD display driver

Melissa,

The patchset passed promotion and CI.

However, since our DC code is shared with the other OS, calling drm_* 
functions in DC won't work for us. For example, calling 
dc_edid_copy_edid_to_sink from dc/link/link_detection.c in patch 14.

I don't have a good way to handle it. Does it make sense not to touch DC 
code for now?
