Yeah, good catch, my bad. I guess I was pressing too hard to have
similar code in DP and LVDS...

I'd like to keep this though. I was thinking a more generic, future EDID
caching feature might use the difference between -EINVAL and -ENOENT,
NULL being the "we just haven't read it yet" flag, to prevent trying to
re-read the EDID when it isn't there. *shrug*. Either way,
