Thomas Zimmermann c5a8f13f1e efi: Support EDID information
In the EFI config table, rename LINUX_EFI_SCREEN_INFO_TABLE_GUID to
LINUX_EFI_PRIMARY_DISPLAY_TABLE_GUID. Read sysfb_primary_display from
the entry. In addition to the screen_info, the entry now also contains
EDID information.

In libstub, replace struct screen_info with struct sysfb_display_info
from the kernel's sysfb_primary_display and rename functions
accordingly.  Transfer it to the runtime kernel using the kernel's
global state or the LINUX_EFI_PRIMARY_DISPLAY_TABLE_GUID config-table
entry.

With CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y, libstub now transfers the GOP device's EDID
information to the kernel. If CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=n, EDID information
is disabled. Make the Kconfig symbol CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID available with
EFI. Setting the value to 'n' disables EDID support.

Also rename screen_info.c to primary_display.c and adapt the contained
comment according to the changes.

help
This enables access to the EDID transferred from the firmware.
On EFI systems, the EDID comes from the same device as the
primary GOP. On x86 with BIOS, it comes from the VESA BIOS.
DRM display drivers will be able to export the information
to userspace.
Also enable this if DDC/I2C transfers do not work for your driver
and if you are using nvidiafb, i810fb or savagefb.
In general, choosing Y for this option is safe. If you
experience extremely long delays while booting before you get
something on your display, try setting this to N. Matrox cards in
combination with certain motherboards and monitors are known to
suffer from this problem.
