From: Shailendra Verma <shailendra.v@xxxxxxxxxxx> In this function "fb_create_modedb" the memory for video mode is getting allocated before the edid validation.If the validation of edid fails then we are freeing the allocated memory for the video mode and returning. So moving the memory allocation part after the edid validation.There is no need to allocate the memory before edid validation check and freeing if validation gets failed.
