This patch adds support to get edid way early before the connector is
created, this is mainly used for panel drivers to auto-probe the panel
based on the vendor and product id from EDID.

This will oops the kernel on bad EDID.

Thanks for quick review,

Yes, you are right it would blow up on dev_warn(connector->dev->dev, ...

May we can fix this if we are happy to take this approach of getting edid early.
