To create binary EDID and C source code files from the existing data

If you want to create your own EDID file, copy the file 1024x768.S,
replace the settings with your own data and add a new target to the
Makefile. Please note that the EDID data structure expects the timing
values in a different way as compared to the standard X11 format.
X11:
HTimings: hdisp hsyncstart hsyncend htotal
VTimings: vdisp vsyncstart vsyncend vtotal
EDID:
#define XPIX hdisp
#define XBLANK htotal-hdisp
#define XOFFSET hsyncstart-hdisp
#define XPULSE hsyncend-hsyncstart
#define YPIX vdisp
#define YBLANK vtotal-vdisp
#define YOFFSET (63+(vsyncstart-vdisp))

The CRC value in the last line
#define CRC 0x55

created, it must be checked with the "edid-decode" utility which will
most probably complain about a wrong CRC. Fortunately, the utility also
displays the correct CRC which must then be inserted into the source
file. After the make procedure is repeated, the EDID data set is ready
