So I think this is a good minimal patch for fixes/stable as a first
step.

But I agree, we should think about the follow-up. I already had a glance
before, and doing so really begs the question why we wouldn't add a
helper to handle all of drm_add_edid_modes, drm_edid_to_eld, and
drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property properly? Similar to
intel_connector_update_modes in i915/intel_modes.c. All drivers do this
stuff, although with subtle differences especially wrt error handling.

BR,
Jani.
