This counter will be used by drm_helper_probe_detect caller to determine
if anything had changed(including edid, connection status and etc).
Hardware specific driver detect hooks are responsible for updating this
counter when some change is detected to notify the drm part,
which can trigger for example hotplug event.
Also now call drm_connector_update_edid_property
right after we get edid always to make sure there is a
unified way to handle edid change, without having to
change tons of source code as currently
drm_connector_update_edid_property is called only in
certain cases like reprobing and not right after edid is
actually updated.
v2: Added documentation for the new counter. Rename change_counter to
epoch_counter.

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.
