The spec text, similar for both EDID_DETAIL_MONITOR_NAME and
EDID_DETAIL_MONITOR_STRING:

	Up to 13 alphanumeric characters (using ASCII codes) may be used
	to define the model name of the display product. The data shall
	be sequenced such that the 1st byte (ASCII code) = the 1st
	character, the 2nd byte (ASCII code) = the 2nd character,
	etc. If there are less than 13 characters in the string, then
	terminate the display product name string with ASCII code ‘0Ah’
	(line feed) and pad the unused bytes in the field with ASCII
	code ‘20h’ (space).

In theory, only checking for '\n' for termination should be enough, and
this is what drm_edid_get_monitor_name() does. If there's a space
*before* that, it should be considered part of the name, and not
ignored. (So my suggestion in reply to the previous version is wrong.)

However, since the match name uses NUL termination, maybe we should
ignore NULs *before* '\n'? Like so:

for (i = name_len; i < desc_len; i++) {
        if (desc[i] == '\n')
                break;
        if (!desc[i])
                return;
}

Jani.
