The purpose of this patch is customize refresh rate and resolution for the guest VM instead of being limited by the actual resolution of the host.
Although it is possible to configure the VM kernel cmdline to set the EDID, such as with drm.edid_firmware=edid/1920x1080.bin, this approach is very inconvenient for three reasons: 1.Some systems, like Android, cannot dynamically set the kernel cmdline and require recompiling the Android image. 2.If the guest VM's DRM driver is built-in, the EDID file also needs to be built-in. If it is placed in the filesystem, the DRM driver will fail to load the firmware because the filesystem is not yet mounted when the driver starts. 3.Some tools for generating EDID files like:https://github.com/akatrevorjay/edid-generator.git have a limitation where the maximum main clock can only be 655 MHz, making it impossible to generate an EDID file for resolutions like 3840x2160@120Hz.
