Thomas Zimmermann [off-list ref] writes:
Detect the primary VGA device with fb_is_primary_device() in the
implementation of fb_firmware_edid(). Remove the existing code.
An explanation about why this is possible would be useful here.
Adapt the function to receive an instance of struct fb_info and
update all callers.
[...]
-const unsigned char *fb_firmware_edid(struct device *device)
+const unsigned char *fb_firmware_edid(struct fb_info *info)
 {
-	struct pci_dev *dev = NULL;
-	struct resource *res = NULL;
 	unsigned char *edid = NULL;
 
-	if (device)
-		dev = to_pci_dev(device);
-
-	if (dev)
-		res = &dev->resource[PCI_ROM_RESOURCE];
-
-	if (res && res->flags & IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW)
This open codes what used to be the fb_is_primary_device() logic before
commit 5ca1479cd35d ("fbdev: Simplify fb_is_primary_device for x86").
But now after that commit there is functional change since the ROM
shadowing check would be dropped.

I believe that's OK and Sima explains in their commit message that
vga_default_device() should be enough and the check is redundant.

Still, I think that this change should be documented in your commit
message. 

With that change,
