The following comment introduces that patch on LKML:
Some integrated ATI Radeon chipset implementations
(e. g. Asus M2A-VM HDMI) indicate the availability
of a DDC even when there's no monitor connected.
In this case, drm_get_edid and drm_edid_block_valid
periodically dump data and kernel errors into system
log files and onto terminals, which lead to an unacceptable
system behaviour.
