Might as well get rid of the stack variable edid altogether.
Maybe get rid of size too and use:

        if (intel_connector->edid) {
                /* invalid edid */
                if (IS_ERR(intel_connector->edid))
                        return NULL;

                return kmemdup(intel_connector->edid,
                               (intel_connector->edid->extensions + 1) * 
EDID_LENGTH,
                               GFP_KERNEL);
        }
