> Subject: [PATCH 2/3] drm: Add Wrapper Functions for ELD SAD
> Extraction
>
> Add wrapper functions to facilitate extracting Short Audio Descriptor (SAD)
> information from EDID-Like Data (ELD) pointers with different constness
> requirements.
>
> 1. `drm_eld_sad`: This function returns a constant `uint8_t` pointer and wraps
> the main extraction function, allowing access to SAD information while
> maintaining const correctness.
>
> 2. `drm_extract_sad_from_eld`: This function returns a mutable `uint8_t`
> pointer and implements the core logic for extracting SAD from the provided ELD
> pointer. It performs version and maximum channel checks to ensure proper
> extraction.
>
> These wrapper functions provide flexibility to the codebase, allowing users to
> access SAD information while adhering to const correctness when needed and
> modifying the pointer when required.

This should also be floated in drm-devel mailing list.

Not sure about the wrapper here the point of the const variable here was we do not want the eld to be changed
but adding a wrapper seems to make it irrelevant
Also why do you want to change pointer data that is a const.
