In this old thread, it was suggested to use a raw EDID block to supply
timings, and since then a couple of drivers in mainline (sm501fb and
fsl-diu) are doing it that way:

Shouldn't this driver be doing the same thing?  If not, shouldn't
whatever interface this is adding be provided in a common helper (like
that old patch was trying to add) so it's standardized between drivers?
