Re: Bug#622993: every 10s I get "[drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid ..."

(Sorry if I'm spawning a very old thread here).

After all this time I have been patching my kernels to workaround [0][1]

Some time ago I found [2] and today I finally solved the problem.

Some stuff I learned: the kernel does ignores checksums mismatches by 8... in the positive side! My mismatch was exactly -1, ie, 255.

I have been modifying the original patch to workaround this since 2011. I'm attaching my last patch in case someone else needs it. It does adds a kernel parameter to ignore edid mismatches.
