Ideally, the EDID reading would be done just after the user request an

been assigned only, and you would have the EDID by then. You could even
reread it regularly, in case the monitor is hot swapped or something such.

Read is not enough. If you have connected one /dev/fbx to two monitors,
you must find highest common denominator for them, and use this one.
