Quite easy:
- Try it and check with dmesg | pastebinit to spot the difference
You will realize that the first time drm_kms_helper searches for the edid file it can't access it. At the time of writing the Braswells did not (!) enable the video output at all if there was no faked edid connected at this early stage, that's why it is there. This is btw. what I am using here in my living room.
So, just check what happens if you boot without TV attached and compare with and without "early binding".
