I applied this change on the couple-days old drm-tip, and was not able to get any "EDID checksum is invalid" messages with it on my SKL. Without this patch I could generate the ERROR quite easily by switching the outputs and displays manually. I don't know if this hides something that it should not but it seem to work for the problem related the noise on Patchwork CI execution caused by these EDID checksum is invalid messages.

So in this case, print a debug message instead of an error.
