We won't have EDID source in this case; for the omap controller I did
hardcode a video mode in sources, which is quite ugly.
If you pass a compiled version of the fex for your board
(https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-boards/blob/master/sys_config/a20/a20-olinuxino_lime2.fex),
Yes, I've seen this fex stuff.
But are we sure it's the way to go ?
From http://linux-sunxi.org/Fex_Guide the mainline linux kernel
uses device tree, and from https://linux-sunxi.org/Mainline_U-boot
I guess u-boot is going this way too.
So sunxi and board makers could well drop fex support in the near future ...
