We have reports of cirtain Nvidia based laptops including the Acer Extensa
booting with blank displays.  This is related to bad EDID information
for the associated displays.  The following patch has been tested to
fix these issues by being more accepting of these poor EDIDs.  This patch
is also queued for the next stable update.

Proposing we pull this into Lucid.

  (pre-stable) drm/edid: allow certain bogus edids to hit a fixup path
    rather than fail
