Bah. Stable should pick up commit d652d5f1eeeb ("drm/edid: fix objtool
warning in drm_cvt_modes()") from mainline too.

Sadly it didn't have a 'Fixes:' tag, so it didn't get picked up
automatically. My bad.

Although it's not like the commits it fixes were actually ever marked
for stable either. I guess commit 3f649ab728cd ("treewide: Remove
uninitialized_var() usage") got picked up as some kind of "make it
easier to apply other patches" thing.
