I think i915 caches the edid once on init and never refreshes it
(assuming no hotplugs). That said, I think it makes sense for a more
conservative approach in panel-simple.

I suppose this would keep banging on the ddc if drm_get_edid()
continuously returns NULL, but maybe that's desireable (it'll succeed
sometime in the future)? At any rate, this is an improvement on
current behavior so it has my vote.
