Starting to get a bit pedantic.. but kmemdup() tries to do a kmalloc(),
and so can fail. Your other patches handle the info->edid_data == NULL
case, in addition to the kfree(), but you're probably going to want to
chomp that found assignment incase of the allocation failing and falling
back on the default mode.

You also don't really have any need to keep the EDID block around after
probe as far as I can tell, so you should be able to rework this in to
something more like:

info->edid_data = kmemdup(..);
...
if (info->edid_data) {
fb_edid_to_monspecs(..);
kfree(info->edid_data);
fb_videomode_to_modelist(..);
}
