Which somewhat ignores Jani's concerns about potentially
bogus EDIDs coming from ACPI, as well as not allowing
the driver to dictate the priority between ACPI vs. DDC
vs. whatever else methods are available. Eg. i915 has
at least one other place where it could get the EDID.
So I don't think i915 could use this version.

But as long we still have the individual methods available
as separate exported functions I suppose drivers can still
choose to stitch their own thing together.

I just don't see much point in having that midlayer.
I don't think drivers can just plug that thing straight
into an existing vfunc or can they? If not, then they still
have to implement the actual function where it gets called.
And once you're doing that, calling two functions instead of
one seems about the same amount of work as setting that flag.

But if people think it's actually useful for them
I won't stand in the way.

Yes. Well, depends on the types and their alignment requirements
of course, and/or whether you specified __packed or not.

You can use 'pahole' to find the holes in structures.
