dtrm/edid: Allow comma separated edid binaries. (v3)
Allow comma separated filenames in the edid_firmware parameter. For example: edid_firmware=eDP-1:edid/1280x480.bin,DP-2:edid/1920x1080.bin v2: Use strsep() to simplify parsing of comma seperated string. (Matt) Move initial bail before strdup. (Matt) v3: Changed conditionals after while loop to make more readable (Jani) Updated kernel-parameters.txt to reflect changes (Jani) Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Matt Roper <matthew.d.roper@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Bob Paauwe <bob.j.paauwe@intel.com> [danvet: Flatten else control flow and appease checkpatch.] Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
