Subject: [PATCH 2/3] video/edid: Use getter function for edid_info
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 13:30:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119123011.1187249-7-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119123011.1187249-5-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Avoid accessing a global writable buffer directly for edid_info, and
instead, define a getter function returning a pointer to it. And
considering that all callers access only the 'dummy' field, just
return a const u8* directly.
This will be used by non-x86 EFI systems that pass edid_info via a EFI
configuration table.
