+    <para>These ioctls can be used to get or set an EDID associated with an input pad
+    from a receiver or an output pad of a transmitter subdevice.</para>
+
+    <para>To get the EDID data the application has to fill in the <structfield>pad</structfield>,
+    <structfield>start_block</structfield>, <structfield>blocks</structfield> and <structfield>edid</structfield>
+    fields and call <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_EDID</constant>. The current EDID from block
+    <structfield>start_block</structfield> and of size <structfield>blocks</structfield>
+    will be placed in the memory <structfield>edid</structfield> points to. The <structfield>edid</structfield>
+    pointer must point to memory at least <structfield>blocks</structfield>&nbsp;*&nbsp;128 bytes
+    large (the size of one block is 128 bytes).</para>
+
+    <para>If there are fewer blocks than specified, then the driver will set <structfield>blocks</structfield>
+    to the actual number of blocks. If there are no EDID blocks available at all, then the error code
+    ENODATA is set.</para>
+
+    <para>If blocks have to be retrieved from the sink, then this call will block until they
+    have been read.</para>
+
+    <para>To set the EDID blocks of a receiver the application has to fill in the <structfield>pad</structfield>,
+    <structfield>blocks</structfield> and <structfield>edid</structfield> fields and set
+    <structfield>start_block</structfield> to 0. It is not possible to set part of an EDID,
+    it is always all or nothing. Setting the EDID data is only valid for receivers as it makes
+    no sense for a transmitter.</para>
+
+    <para>The driver assumes that the full EDID is passed in. If there are more EDID blocks than
+    the hardware can handle then the EDID is not written, but instead the error code E2BIG is set
+    and <structfield>blocks</structfield> is set to the maximum that the hardware supports.
+    If <structfield>start_block</structfield> is any
+    value other than 0 then the error code EINVAL is set.</para>
+
+    <para>To disable an EDID you set <structfield>blocks</structfield> to 0. Depending on the
+    hardware this will drive the hotplug pin low and/or block the source from reading the EDID
+    data in some way. In any case, the end result is the same: the EDID is no longer available.
