It's found that some panels have variants that they share the same panel id although their EDID and names are different. Besides panel id, now we need more information from the EDID base block to distinguish these panel variants. Add drm_edid_read_base_block() to return the EDID base block, which is wrapped in struct drm_edid. Caller can further use it to get panel id or check if the block contains certain strings, such as panel name. Merge drm_edid_get_panel_id() and edid_extract_panel_id() into one function.

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.
