Subject: [PATCH] drm/edid: Don't repeatedly log hex dumps of bad EDIDs by
 default

On my system, every 10 seconds drm_edid_block_valid() gets called 4
times by radeon_dvi_detect().  This results in 4 instances of a
multi-line hex dump of the same EDID (non-)data being logged every 10
seconds.

Silence the hex dump from drm_edid_block_valid() unless a drm_debug
module parameter flag is set.
