Yes, edid will be invalid while reading again, that's why trying to cache it.
Correct edid received after HPD. Will try reset the flag at block0

If flag reset at block0 gives correct edid we don't have to cache it, just that
it will take few extra ms to load the edid data again.

Lontium also shared the updated firmware to load upto 4 block edid, will check with them
on upstreaming plan.
