We've discussed that on IRC today. I'm not sure there was a conclusion
other than "well this doesn't seem right". I think we should at least
provide different EDIDs depending on the connector type indeed, but
there was also a few discussions that arose:
- Is it useful to have embedded EDIDs in the kernel at all, and could
we just get rid of it?
- Should we expose those EDIDs to userspace, and what happens to the
compositor when we do?
- The current way to generate those EDIDs isn't... optimal? Should we
get rid of that as well?
Anyway, all of those issues have been here for a while so I don't really
expect this series to fix that.
