Hm, not sure that makes sense. drm_do_get_edid is to handle the real-world
flakiness of sinks (it's where all the retry logic resides), if you don't
have a i2c_adapater (because the hw has some magic "give me an edid"
block). For virtual hw we hopefully don't randomly drop bits on the floor
between the guest and host. Imo totally fine as-is.

E.g. we also don't feed the VBT edid through drm_do_get_edid either.
