The helper is generic, it doesn't use the opaque EDID type struct drm_edid and is also used by drivers that only support non-probeable displays such as fixed panels. These drivers add a list of modes using drm_mode_probed_add() and then set a preferred mode using the drm_set_preferred_mode() helper. It seems more logical to have the helper definition in drm_modes.o instead of drm_edid.o, since the former contains modes helper while the latter has helpers to manage the EDID information. Since both drm_edid.o and drm_modes.o object files are built-in the drm.o object, there are no functional changes. But besides being a more logical place for this helper, it could also allow to eventually make drm_edid.o optional and not included in drm.o if only fixed panels must be supported in a given system.

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.
