Currently adv7511_get_modes() bails out early when no EDID could be
retrieved. This leaves the previous EDID in place, which is typically not
the intended behavior and might confuse applications. Instead the EDID
should be cleared when no EDID could be retrieved.

All functions that are called after the EDID check handle the case where
the EDID is NULL just fine and exhibit the expected behavior, so just drop
the check.

No objections from me. Ran these on my HiKey board ontop of Linus's
HEAD, and everything seemed ok.

So for the whole patchset:

The set looks good to me too. I'll queue it to drm-misc-next in a few days.

Thanks,
