What I would have rather seen done with EDID data is to have  
something that parses it and makes a dictionary, then make FB drivers  
use the dictionary.  That way, in situations like you had, you would  
not have had to create an EDID blob, but rather just populated a  
dictionary with the properties that you wanted to pass along.
