This makes me a little uneasy, as the wording here makes it sound like
it is possible for us to initiate a DP aux xfer without raising VDD on
the eDP panel. Having made the decision to retreive the EDID for a panel
only once, we should use that result for all future queries i.e. if it
was NULL during init, assume it will be NULL now as well. (I hope nobody
brings out an eDP-to-HDMI dongle!)
