2.6.14-rc1: oops during boot

[Grant Wilson <gww@btinternet.com>]

2.6.14-rc1 oops on boot as a result of the patch "nvidiafb: Fallback to
firmware EDID".

This is because the call to fb_firmware_edid added by the patch may
return NULL but this is not checked before trying to memcpy using this
pointer resulting in the following oops:
