I'll go with the former, for now.

Thank you. ... But!

... at this moment I realised that both the specs and the legacy code
actually indicate it's indeed *little*-endian shorts!
I.e. `x[0] | x[1] << 8' -- that's LSB-first.

Also, virtually no code in `drm_edid.c' uses big-endian.

Thus, I'm fixing both my code and `displayid_detailed_timings_1' (I
suppose you meant this struct instead) to use __le16.
