Yeah. I can't actually figure out how it could have worked even
with 4.19.

Hmm. Actually now that I look at some of the hints in the logs it
does look like it maybe did find an EDID after all. What confused
me was that all the modes very much like the _noedid stuff.

Ah, it looks like we fail to fully initialize the DDC stuff
before setting up the outputs, which I guess explains why the
EDID read fails there. Previously there was this funky feedback
loop in that .get_modes() actually filled in the fixed_mode,
so until you called that (after everything else was fully set
up) you didn't have a fixed mode.

And while looking at this stuff more I can see that the whole
multi output support is still very much snafu :/

I'll see if I can make a fairly minimal fix for now...
