edid_read matches the changes in drm_edid.c, going from drm_get_edid()
to drm_edid_read().

There's a nice symmetry when ->get_edid() hooks using drm_get_edid() are
converted to ->edid_read() hooks using drm_edid_read().

So I did convert all of bridge over a few months back, and pushed the
branch to [1]. Should I brush that up and send the entire series? I
don't really know what's common and what's not.
