I can't find the older mails I've typed about this, but the plan we've
discussed a while back was:
- Add a generational counter to each connector, maybe even expose it to
  userspace.

- Increment that counter every time something changed, e.g.
  connector->status in the propbe helpers, or when attaching a new edid
  with the set_edid helper.

- Tada, no changes needed to drivers, and easily extensible to other
  things than edid!

Cheers, Daniel
