(Get the code!)
I considered header and checksum validation and decided intentionally that would be a bad idea. Buggy hardware exists, and we should support it as well as we can, even when they fail to checksum their EDID correctly.
This is based on seeing many logs over the years in which users' displays provided invalid EDIDs. We can't fix all hardware, so we should go best effort instead of assuming that no EDID is better than a badly formed EDID.
