How do I disable edid check on kernel command line?

[Flash]

Thanks for reply. Finally realized why I couldn't locate EDID folder, 
kernel docs weren't installed.
Built default edids, copied 1920x1080.bin to /lib/firmware and 
/lib/firmware/edid, adds 
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=DVI-I-1:edid/1920x1080.bin drm_debug=14 
log_buf_len=16M to commandline. No change in behavior, commandline 
firmware helper ignored. Boot DVI-I-1 signal drops during and/or after 
LUKS prompt. Next, invalid EDID message appears although 
/usr/bin/edid-decode validates /lib/firmware/1920x1080.bin.

My guesstimation so far is (1) once DVI-I-1 signal drops during boot 
nothing I've done so far 're-connects' DVI-I-1; (2) although 
1920x1080.bin is placed in /lib/firmware and /lib/firmware/edid neither 
is found yet there is no notification/complaint; (3) for whatever 
reason, video:DVI-I-1:e is also ignored. Is there another commandline 
option to keep signal on for DVI-I-1?

Thanks again
