How do you envision these to be used with, say, DVI monitors with EDID
data? Should each panel driver, that manages a device with EDID, read
and parse the EDID itself? I guess that shouldn't be too difficult with
a common EDID lib, but that will only expose some of the information
found from EDID. Should the upper levels also have a way to get the raw
EDID data, in addition to funcs like above?
