Hi,

Caching the EDID via the firmware API makes the kernel able to reclaim 
the memory in case it's needed. And eventually, the kernel will load it 
again before suspending.
But for 128 bytes, even if we have many monitors it will not make any 
difference.
I don't know if storing a platform device can take more memory than 128 
bytes of data.
I let you decide which option is better. Just tell me if I should cache 
the bytes instead.

Thanks.

Matthieu
