Thanks for the patch!

I don't think we need a local variable to store the return value from
one function call that's immediately returned, ie.

return parse_edid_cea(aconnector, edid_ext, EDID_LENGTH, vsdb_info) ?
i : -ENODEV;

would suffice, but the patch is still fine as is.

reusing `i` here is safe, for now, but reuse of variables like this in
separate branches like this might not get noticed if the function is
amended in the future.
