Sorry, I am new with such patch lists :/ ...

Cool, that's new for me.  FALLTHROUGH really works, great :)

Aaaeem yes, something is wrong here.  If the EDID data are correct, then 
since 0001-*_5.15.patch in [1] should broke the implementation.

   (0x1a & (3 << 3)) == (3 << 3) == DRM_EDID_PT_DIGITAL_SEPARATE_SYNC

But this implementation here I made and we are discussing should be have 
the same behavior as before in that case of [1].  The no-op should also 
be before.  But then the fix ca62297b2085b before is useless.  Yes, you 
are right, then reverting is the better idea xD

I don't know about the other problematic cases.  I don't have the data 
of the use cases for that.

Yeah I also saw that in the VESA Standard, but I reflected that the 
analog display implementation should be more stable, as they are longer 
exist.  For current digital eDP panels which have 0x00 at 47h are these 
composite bits at 14h not reachable --- because bit 7 of 14h is 1.  It 
may just have effects on older analog displays.

Okay, summary: You may be right, as the fix commit ca62297b2085b makes 
less sense.

Yeah, greets and thanks for the fast fix.  Really great =D
