My initial approach was doing just that. Then I noticed I might get away
without doing any kind of allocations. I've some tests that work
both ways.

In intel_hdmi_unset_edid(), kfree(detect_edid) is only called when
connector->override_edid is not set, in this way it won't deallocate
random data.

In case edid is not set (failed to communicate with the display) and
the override_edid is set (which is set by edid_write() in drm_debugfs()
meaing a user supplied a EDID blob) I can assume that the user
did injected a HDMI EDID, and use data from drm_property_blob.

Seems to be the only place before looking for CEA extensions in HDMI
supplied EDID.
