So we've put a lot of effort into converting from struct edid to struct
drm_edid, passing that around in drm_edid.c, with the allocation size it
provides, and generally cleaning stuff up.

I'm not at all happy to see *another* struct added just for the base
block, and detailed timing iteration as well as monitor name parsing
duplicated.

With struct drm_edid you can actually return an EDID that only has the
base block and size 128, even if the EDID indicates more
extensions. Because the whole thing is *designed* to handle that
gracefully. The allocated size matters, not what the blob originating
outside of the kernel tells you.

What I'm thinking is:

- Add some struct drm_edid_ident or similar. Add all the information
  that's needed to identify a panel there. I guess initially that's
  panel_id and name.

    struct drm_edid_ident {
        u32 panel_id;
        const char *name;
    };

- Add function:

    bool drm_edid_match(const struct drm_edid *drm_edid, const struct drm_edid_ident *ident);

  Check if stuff in ident matches drm_edid. You can use and extend the
  existing drm_edid based iteration etc. in
  drm_edid.c. Straightforward. The fields in ident can trivially be
  extended later, and the stuff can be useful for other drivers and
  quirks etc.

- Restructure struct edp_panel_entry to contain struct
  drm_edid_ident. Change the iteration of edp_panels array to use
  drm_edid_match() on the array elements and the edid.

- Add a function to read the EDID base block *but* make it return const
  struct drm_edid *. Add warnings in the comments that it's only for
  panel and for transition until it switches to reading full EDIDs.

    const struct drm_edid *drm_edid_read_base_block(struct i2c_adapter *adapter);

  This is the *only* hackish part of the whole thing, and it's nicely
  isolated. For the most part you can use drm_edid_get_panel_id() code
  for this, just return the blob wrapped in a struct drm_edid envelope.

- Remove function:

    u32 drm_edid_get_panel_id(struct i2c_adapter *adapter);

- Refactor edid_quirk_list to use the same id struct and match function
  and mechanism within drm_edid.c (can be follow-up too).

- Once you change the panel code to read the whole EDID using
  drm_edid_read family of functions in the future, you don't have to
  change *anything* about the iteration or matching or anything, because
  it's already passing struct drm_edid around.


I hope this covers everything.

Jani.
