Hrmh, I'm planning on moving the edid override and firmware edid
mechanisms at the drm_do_get_edid() level to be able to truly and
transparently use a different edid. Currently, they're only used for
modes, really, and lead to some info retrieved from overrides, some from
the real edid. This kind of hacks will bypass the override/firmware edid
mechanisms then too. :(

BR,
Jani.
