As a major change from V1, generic EDID data are now built-in into the drm_kms_helper module as proposed by Alan. To help people building their own EDID data and to understand how the binary EDID blobs in drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c have been created, the entire material went into the Documentation tree as suggested by Valdis. Finally, David showed a much better way to explicitly disable and enable a particular connector, so patch 02/03 could go. The two remaining patches - introduce a mechanism to define or load EDID data instead of letting the controller probe for it, - add a parameter to the i915 module to invert the sense of the backlight brightness variable for broken controllers that require this. -Carsten.
