Given the discussion about this back in January, I think the best way,
at least for now, is to keep a copy of the EDID data so that it can
actually be modified.

But looking at the problem more closely, I don't think the patch from
January is quite correct. The problem is that it uses the EDID stored
within the struct tegra_output. That's problematic because that field
is not updated when EDID is probed via DDC. That would make the patch
that you proposed more correct.
