That code is also shared by rivafb. It's rather LCD/DFP specific for now, I would _much_ prefer some more generic EDID parser. So far, I haven't been able to find any specification of the edid block, this is annoying as I'd like to deduce a proper default mode for CRTs as well, and some informations about backlight ranges (if any in the EDID).
