The EDID firmware loading mechanism introduced a few built-in EDIDs that
could be forced on any connector, bypassing the EDIDs it exposes.
While convenient, this limited set of EDIDs doesn't take into account
the connector type, and we can end up with an EDID that is completely
invalid for a given connector.
For example, the edid/800x600.bin file matches the following EDID:
edid-decode (hex):
00 ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 31 d8 00 00 00 00 00 00

So, an analog monitor EDID. However, if the connector was an HDMI
monitor for example, it breaks the HDMI specification that requires,
among other things, a digital display, the VIC 1 mode and an HDMI Forum
Vendor Specific Data Block in an CTA-861 extension.
We thus end up with a completely invalid EDID, which thus might confuse
HDMI-related code that could parse it.
After some discussions on IRC, we identified mainly two ways to fix
this:
- We can either create more EDIDs for each connector type to provide
a built-in EDID that matches the resolution passed in the name, and
still be a sensible EDID for that connector type;
- Or we can just prevent the EDID to be exposed to userspace if it's
built-in.
Or possibly both.
However, the conclusion was that maybe we just don't need the built-in
EDIDs at all and we should just get rid of them. So here we are.
