The size of .word is the size of a word in the given platform, which
for intel systems is 16-bits but other architectures use different
sizes. However, .hword emits 16-bit numbers regardless of the
platform (and despite the name). The quantities specified in EDID are
platform independent, so they should work in spite of the default
target of the cc you are using, so use .hword where EDID specifies
16-bit numbers.

The 800x600 (SVGA) screen resolution was lacking in the set of
built-in selectable EDID screen resolutions that can be used to
repair misbehaving monitor firmware.
This patch adds the related data set and expands the documentation.
Note that the SVGA bit occupies a different byte to all the existing
users of the established timing bits forcing a rework of the
ESTABLISHED_TIMINGS_BITS macro.
Tested new EDID on an aged (and misbehaving) industrial LCD panel;
existing EDIDs still pass edid-decode's checksum checks.

The 1600x1200 (UXGA) screen resolution was lacking in the set of
built-in selectable EDID screen resolutions that can be used to
repair misbehaving monitor firmware.
This patch adds the related data set and expands the documentation.

A description was lacking how to write an EDID firmware file that
corresponds to a given X11 setting.

Broken monitors and/or broken graphic boards may send erroneous or no
EDID data. This also applies to broken KVM devices that are unable to
correctly forward the EDID data of the connected monitor but invent
their own fantasy data.
This patch allows to specify an EDID data set to be used instead of
probing the monitor for it. It contains built-in data sets of frequently
used screen resolutions. In addition, a particular EDID data set may be
provided in the /lib/firmware directory and loaded via the firmware
interface. The name is passed to the kernel as module parameter of the
drm_kms_helper module either when loaded
options drm_kms_helper edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin
or as kernel commandline parameter
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin
It is also possible to restrict the usage of a specified EDID data set
to a particular connector. This is done by prepending the name of the
connector to the name of the EDID data set using the syntax
edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<edid>
such as, for example,
edid_firmware=DVI-I-1:edid/1920x1080.bin
in which case no other connector will be affected.
The built-in data sets are
Resolution Name
--------------------------------
1024x768 edid/1024x768.bin
1280x1024 edid/1280x1024.bin
1680x1050 edid/1680x1050.bin
1920x1080 edid/1920x1080.bin
They are ignored, if a file with the same name is available in the
/lib/firmware directory.
The built-in EDID data sets are based on standard timings that may not
apply to a particular monitor and even crash it. Ideally, EDID data of
the connected monitor should be used. They may be obtained through the
drm/cardX/cardX-<connector>/edid entry in the /sys/devices PCI directory
of a correctly working graphics adapter.
It is even possible to specify the name of an EDID data set on-the-fly
via the /sys/module interface, e.g.
echo edid/myedid.bin >/sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/edid_firmware
The new screen mode is considered when the related kernel function is
called for the first time after the change. Such calls are made when the
X server is started or when the display settings dialog is opened in an
already running X server.
