They look fine to me now assuming that Stepehn has tested patch #1
enough that we're confident that the slight change in ordering isn't
going to mess anything up. Laurent also had comments about caching
the EDID on patch #3. If he feels strongly about getting rid of that,
it'll need another spin and we'll just have to suck up the small boot
time penalty until we can find a solution in the core.

At some point I think Vinod tried to prepare a patch for this and I
tried it, but it didn't just work. I spent an hour or so poking at it
and I couldn't quite figure out why and I couldn't find enough other
examples to compare against to see what was wrong... That was a few
months ago, though. Maybe things are in a better shape now?
