On the one hand, I've tried to make all the drm_edid based interfaces
handle all the cases (drm_edid == NULL, drm_edid->edid == NULL,
drm_edid->size < required) gracefully, but on the other hand, panel-edp
is the only user and this would go boom for you quickly if you passed in
a bogus drm_edid.

Adding the checks is definitely not wrong, but I'm not insisting.
