Iterating DisplayID blocks across sections (in EDID extensions) is
unnecessarily complicated for the caller. Implement DisplayID iterators
to go through all blocks in all sections.
Usage example:
const struct displayid_block *block;
struct displayid_iter iter;
displayid_iter_edid_begin(edid, &iter);
displayid_iter_for_each(block, &iter) {
/* operate on block */
}
displayid_iter_end(&iter);
When DisplayID is stored in EDID extensions, the DisplayID sections map
to extensions as described in VESA DisplayID v1.3 Appendix B: DisplayID
as an EDID Extension. This is implemented here.
When DisplayID is stored in its dedicated DDC device 0xA4, according to
VESA E-DDC v1.3, different rules apply for the structure. This is not
implemented here, as we don't currently use it, but the idea is you'd
have a different call for beginning the iteration, for example simply:
displayid_iter_begin(displayid, &iter);
instead of displayid_iter_edid_begin(), and everything else would be
hidden away in the iterator functions.
v2:
- sizeof(struct displayid_block) -> sizeof(*block) (Ville)
- remove __ prefix from displayid_iter_block

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
