Would it be harmless if 'still' enabled? Disabling this option is only relevant if you're making a commercial product using this driver. It's a quite widespread issue that HDMI projectors utilize default EDID that comes from BSP driver they use, while a rebrand EDID should be used. Keeping this option enabled is harmless, but you don't want to do it in a product. For all other use-cases you would want to enable this option, otherwise driver won't be usable until you will load EDID from userspace. Hans has strong opinion RE this option and wants to have it disabled by default. > Thus a more extensive description what this Kconfig item does and why > and when I want to enable it or not, seems more useful to me. Will update and expand the description with more clarification. Thanks for suggestion. -- Best regards, Dmitry
