[Intel-gfx] Support for HDMI on ASUS P5E-VM HDMI (G35 chipset)

[Mike Wright]

One quick question, does the Intel driver support parsing EDID ver 1.3
over HDMI?  The reason I ask is that I just checked my X.org.log and
the decoded EDID in log listed 1920x540 interlaced as the only
available mode. This looks wrong as the plasma manual does not list
this mode as a supported mode. I can post my EDID block if needed.
I'll also try to decode it by hand.
