Noted. I will reporting my findings on commit logs from now onwards. 

Given that I split the if-ternary to avoid checking 
"fake_edid_record->ucFakeEDIDLength"
twice then (for the current patch), yes, there will be changes to *.o|ko files.

Knowing that Christian would feel more confident with no binary changes
at this point, I will send a different patch aiming solely on the
replacement of 1-elem array without incurring binary changes.
