Introduce new attributes to configure EDID of a connector:
- edid_enable - chose if the connector will have an EDD or not
- edid - raw edid content
Due to limitation of ConfigFS, the max len of EDID is PAGE_SIZE (4kB on
x86), it should be sufficient for many tests. One possible evolution is
using a ConfigFS blob to allow bigger EDID.

Hey Louis,
I wasn't able to set the EDID, could you provide an example?
This is what I tried:
# I'm using QEMU's EDID:
$ cat /sys/class/drm/card0-Virtual-1/edid > qemu-edid.bin
# Create a simple device:
$ sudo mkdir /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1 && \
sudo mkdir /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/planes/plane0 && \
echo "1" | sudo tee /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/planes/plane0/type && \
sudo mkdir /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/crtcs/crtc0 && \
echo "0" | sudo tee /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/crtcs/crtc0/writeback && \
sudo mkdir /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/encoders/encoder0 && \
sudo mkdir /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/connectors/connector0 && \
sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/crtcs/crtc0 /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/planes/plane0/possible_crtcs && \
sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/crtcs/crtc0 /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/encoders/encoder0/possible_crtcs && \
sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/encoders/encoder0 /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/connectors/connector0/possible_encoders
$ cat qemu-edid.bin | sudo tee /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/connectors/connector0/edid
# The EDID is stored and it is correct:
$ cat /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/connectors/connector0/edid | edid-decode
$ echo "1" | sudo tee /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/connectors/connector0/edid_enabled
$ echo "1" | sudo tee /sys/kernel/config/vkms/gpu1/enabled
# After enabling the device, the EDID is not present:
$ cat /sys/class/drm/card1-Virtual-2/edid
<empty>
And drm_info does not show the EDID property.
Am I missing something?

Your usage is good, I expect it to work
But I forgot one very important call, probably lost during my multiple
rebases: drm_connector_attach_edid_property
But you also need to call modetest to properly refresh the EDID property
(I don't know exactly how it works, but if I don't call modetest first,
drm_info does not see the EDID)
