I was thinking about this. We can use a boolean variable:
===============
bool edid_is_invalid;
edid_is_invalid = !drm_edid_is_valid(edid);
if (edid == NULL || edid_is_invalid) {
clear_eld(connector);
drm_reset_display_info(connector);
if (edid_is_invalid)
drm_warn(connector->dev, "%s: EDID invalid.\n",
connector->name);
return 0;
}
drm_edid_to_eld(connector, edid);
...
===============
Internally, drm_edid_is_valid() handles NULL pointers properly.
It is a quite elegant solution with a small change in the original
design, and it improves this part in the way you pointed out.
