Re: Enhance EDID quirks to allow forcing a mode

Oops.  I neglected to preface this with my motivation:  I have a new monitor 
that doesn't report its native resolution in its EDID block.  It seemed to me
this calls for an EDID quirk, but the current quirk infrastructure doesn't
allow explicitly creating new modes.  So I set out to make a simple enhancement
to allow specifying a new mode and then setting it as preferred.

The idea is setup a new quirk list with width, height, and refresh rates for
each monitor that needs this quirk.  If a monitor is attached that matches one
in this list, the full modeline is calculated with drm_gtf_mode, the
DRM_MODE_TYPE_PREFERRED bit is set, and the new mode is added to the connector.

The patch also creates a new quirk bit:  EDID_QUIRK_FORCE_MODE.  This bit needs
to be set for the new quirk list discribed above to be checked.

The first patch enhances the quirk logic as described above.  The second one
adds my new monitor to the quirk lists.
