As a remedy for such situations, the kernel configuration item CONFIG_DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE was introduced. It allows to provide an individually prepared or corrected EDID data set in the /lib/firmware -directory from where it is loaded via the firmware interface. The code -(see drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c) contains built-in data sets for -commonly used screen resolutions (800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200, -1680x1050, 1920x1080) as binary blobs, but the kernel source tree does -not contain code to create these data.
