sna: Allow user override of EDID for an output
As a slightly more convenient approach than loading the EDID on the kernel command line, allow the user to specify the EDID path in the Device section of xorg.conf, e.g. Section "Device" Identifier "igfx" Option "CustomEDID" "DP1:/path/to/dp1.edid,DP2:/path/to/dp2.edid" EndSection Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89945

+Override the probed EDID on particular outputs. Sometimes the manufacturer

+corrected EDID may be easier than specifying every modeline. This option
+allows to pass the path to load an EDID from per output. The format is a
