[PATCH 6.12.y 2/3] drm/exynos: vidi: fix to avoid directly dereferencing user pointer

[ Upstream commit d4c98c077c7fb2dfdece7d605e694b5ea2665085 ]

In vidi_connection_ioctl(), vidi->edid(user pointer) is directly
dereferenced in the kernel.

This allows arbitrary kernel memory access from the user space, so instead
of directly accessing the user pointer in the kernel, we should modify it
to copy edid to kernel memory using copy_from_user() and use it.
