I'm a bit confused here. Could you give me some more details on how to
know it's a full-featured I2C bus or specialized "give me the edid" one?
My understanding is that the ZTE hardware for reading HDMI and VGA EDID
are different but pretty similar. But in HDMI driver review [1], you
gave the opposite comment, asking to change to I2C adapter from
drm_do_get_edid(). I'm wondering how you see that the hardware in HDMI
is a full-featured I2C bus, while the one in VGA is a specialized bus?
