I'll respond in the discussion in v1 too, but overall I'm not a fan of
reading the whole EDID twice at bootup. Personally I'd love to see us
to back to just reading the base block like in v1, but I guess we can
see what Jani and others say.

This "goto fail" is now only run "if (connector)" which means that
you're not properly checking if the EDID is valid when "connector ==
NULL", right? That seems like a bug unless I missed something...
