Yea. That is not my intent at all I'm just trying to get the drm_crtc
attached to the connector that we're getting the EDID mode lines from.
I had tried going connector->encoder->crtc, but at the time this is
called, the encoder is null. So Rob suggested the for_each_crtc(), and
I guess I mistook that for being each crtc on the connector.

Thanks for pointing out this issue. From Daniel's feedback it looks
like I need to start over from scratch though, so little worry this
implementation will go much further.

thanks
