video: Make CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID generally available 

DRM drivers such as efidrm and vesadrm can export firmware EDID
data to userspace. Make the related option CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID
available without CONFIG_FB. Make it depend on X86, which is
currently the only architecture providing EDID information.

help
This enables access to the EDID transferred from the firmware.
On x86, this is from the VESA BIOS. DRM display drivers will
be able to export the information to userspace.
Also enable this if DDC/I2C transfers do not work for your driver
and if you are using nvidiafb, i810fb or savagefb.
In general, choosing Y for this option is safe. If you
experience extremely long delays while booting before you get
something on your display, try setting this to N. Matrox cards in
combination with certain motherboards and monitors are known to
suffer from this problem.
