Re: [RFC PATCH] HDMI:Support for EDID parsing in kernel.

Hi Gunnedi,

Dave's point is that we can't ditch the existing code without
introducing a lot of risk; it would be better to start a library-ized
EDID codebase from the most complete one we have already, i.e. the DRM
EDID code.

Does the DRM EDID-parser also process blocks beyond the first one and
also parses SVD entries similar to what I've recently added to fbdev? Yes,
we definitely need a common EDID parses, and maybe we'll have to collect
various pieces from different implementations.

As far as I know , it does not parse SVD ,But it should not be that
difficult to add.
We could take the SVD parsing from your code . In the RFC i have
posted I parse for detailed timing and other VSDB blocks.
Also the parsing should be based on the extension type for  multiple
128 byte blocks.

Thanks and regards,
Mythri.
