Well... It should be possible to get that info from OF properties
or is the OF driver broken enough to not export that either ?

How does the MacOS driver to probe displays ? Isn't it possible
to just try the various i2c channels until an EDID is found to
figure what's up ? The CRT port can definitely probe for the
presence of the display by measuring the load on the analog
outputs.
