This should be cc'ed for Adam Jackson's attention as well.

drm_edid_has_monitor_audio()? That is a little more self-descriptive.
(I also think drm_detect_hdmi_monitor is poorly named.)

Too many brackets do not lead to code clarity. ;-)

The last time Adam had a chance to comment on this EDID check, he
suggested that we cannot rely on has_audio being a reliable indicator of
the sink's properties. If the EDID has no audio support, then return
early, otherwise perform the secondary check that extension block contains
audio data.
