I also noticed that the I2C interface is not enabled until after the console opens the framebuffer.
That means it's impossible for EDID data to be available before the console switches to the video
device.  That doesn't seem right.

I think what you need is this:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/7/14

That may not be the latest version of the patches; I'm not quite sure
what the status is right now.

Then, FB probe could be deferred until after I2C probe, and the EDID
would be available.
