>Subject: [PATCH] drm/kms: add a module param to disable strict EDID checking
>
>Lots of EDIDs have bad checksums or bad version numbers, but
>have otherwise good data in them.  The current code rejects
>them which results in bad modes or blank screens in some cases.
>This patch adds a new module parameter, edid_strict, to drm.ko.
>It defaults to 1 (strict conformance, the current behavior),
>but if the user sets it to 0, it will bypass the checks and
>accept the EDID.
