Public bug reported:

[Impact]
The ASPEED DisplayPort driver rejects EDID block 1, limiting EDID reads to 128 
bytes. DisplayPort supports up to 256 bytes of EDID data (blocks 0 and 1), so 
monitors that provide extended EDID information in block 1 will have that data 
silently ignored, potentially leading to incorrect mode detection or display 
configuration.

[Fix]
Allow the ASPEED DP driver to fetch EDID blocks 0 and 1 by changing the block 
limit check from > 0 to > 1 in ast_astdp_read_edid_block().
