Please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_display_identification_data and notice that it's just data, not some code. You can completely understand this data, possibly using a tool like parse-edid. The hexadecimal array can be used as source: the parsed version doesn't add any extra information (just like we accept binary PNG files instead of requiring the textual SNG files). Do you assume that there are no issues related to the lack of Radeon firmware that recent kernels need for modesetting or X on newer devices?
