Bug#728275: please enable DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE

Please enable DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE in the kernel config.
I am handling various devices with broken display EDID and know that
several other people know this problem as well. Enabling the above
option allows for passing a repaired version of any display EDID block
from a file on disl through a kernel command-line option.
As using this option requires an explicit command-line option, I am
certain that enabling it will not have any impact on users that do not
want to use it.
It also isn't big overhead as it is a feature built into drm_kms_helper,
which is built as a module.
