Arguably part of the reason for big dumps is that we use MAX_ELD_BYTES
for the size instead of drm_eld_size(). Granted, using drm_eld_size()
brings other complications, so maybe this is better anyway.

Maybe make the function return "length of differing prefix" instead?

If the buffers are identical, you now return len, and the caller dumps
len + 1, overflowing the buffer. This shouldn't happen, because we've
checked before that the buffers do differ, but it's a trap for anyone
who just picks this up for some other use case.

The fix is simple, return "i + 1" if there's a difference, return 0 at
the end if there's not, and drop the + 1 from the caller side.

Renaming the function is the hard part. ;)
