Something about that doesn't really agree with my brain.
It's correct but when I read it I can't immediately see it.

I guess what I'd like to see is something like:
last_block = edid[0x7e];
if (last_block < num_blocks)
	connector->real_edid_checksum =
		drm_edid_block_checksum(edid + last_block * EDID_LENGTH);

Techically exactly the same thing, but I don't have to read
the comparison twice to convince myself that it's correct.

Anyways, this is
