Mixed feelings about "at least 13 chars". It might be simpler for this
one thing, but I hate to see this assumption of "at least 13 chars" get
spread around in patch 2 to where it's no longer obvious where this
requirement comes from.
Seeing that this is mostly copy-paste from drm_edid_to_eld(), I think
this patch should be an abstraction of that code to a separate function.

Depending on edid_name you might not terminate the string. And, in fact,
if you make this an abstraction for drm_edid_to_eld(), you might be
better off *not* terminating, which OTOH is not nice for your other use
in patch 2.
So how about first adding an internal abstraction:
static int get_monitor_name(struct edid *edid, char name[13])
which does *not* terminate the string, and returns length, 0 for
edid_name == NULL. Works nicely for drm_edid_to_eld().
Then you could add the external interface on top of that:
static void drm_edid_get_monitor_name(struct edid *edid, char *buf, int bufsize)
which would always terminate the string (assuming bufsize > 0), even on
errors so you can get rid of the return value. This simplifies your
follow up code, and if we later on need more robust error handling, it's
easy to add the return value.
