This breaks the locking strategy.

tda998x_audio_get_eld() takes the mutex to safely read the ELD.  The
ELD is updated in tda998x_connector_get_modes(), which is called
within drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes().  Moving the mutex
in this way means that the update of the ELD happens outside the lock,
which then means there's no protection between reading and writing
the ELD.

What could be done instead is to move the locking as you have above,
but also move the call to drm_edid_to_eld(connector, edid) into this
function, also within the lock.  This has the advantage that if the
user needs to override the EDID, then the overriden EDID is also used
for the ELD.

IMHO that's more correct as the reason for overriding the EDID may be
to correct the audio information.
