Subject: [PATCH v2 09/14] drm/edid: Use the cached EDID in drm_get_edid() if eDP
Date:   Mon, 29 Mar 2021 19:53:40 -0700
Message-Id: <20210329195255.v2.9.Ia7e9bb7cf6c51d960b9455fb0fa447cc68ece99d@changeid>

Each time we call drm_get_edid() we:
1. Go out to the bus and ask for the EDID.
2. Cache the EDID.

We can improve this to actually use the cached EDID so that if
drm_get_edid() is called multiple times then we don't need to go out
to the bus over and over again.

In normal DP/HDMI cases reading the EDID over and over again isn't
_that_ expensive so, presumably, this wasn't that critical in the
past. However for eDP going out to the bus can be expensive. This is
because eDP panels might be powered off before the EDID was requested
so we need to do power sequencing in addition to the transfer.

In theory we should be able to cache the EDID for all types of
displays. There is already code throwing the cache away when we detect
that a display was unplugged. However, it can be noted that it's
_extra_ safe to cache the EDID for eDP since eDP isn't a hot-pluggable
interface. If we get the EDID once then we've got the EDID and we
should never need to read it again. For now we'll only use the cache
for eDP both because it's more important and extra safe.
