I had the same idea... but then avoided that because in most (if not all?) of the
DRM drivers (at least, the one I've read) this check is always open coded, so I
wrote it like that for consistency and nothing else.

I have no strong opinions on that though!

Correct. The only other "good" place would be in the `if (new_edid)` conditional,
but that wouldn't be as readable as it is right now...
