[PATCH] drm/edid: Don't print an error if the checksum of a CEA block is wrong

From: Tomeu Vizoso
Date: Thu Dec 08 2016 - 08:13:45 EST


It's common to share screens within CI labs, and it's also common for
KVM switches to alter the contents of the CEA block but leave the
checksum outdated.

So in this case, print a debug message instead of an error.
