After looking at the full code, I am not sure. This is the code:
==================
int drm_add_edid_modes(struct drm_connector *connector, struct edid *edid)
{
        int num_modes = 0;
        u32 quirks;

        if (edid == NULL) {
                clear_eld(connector);
                drm_reset_display_info(connector); <--- added by me
                return 0;
        }
        if (!drm_edid_is_valid(edid)) {
                clear_eld(connector);
                drm_reset_display_info(connector); <--- added by me
                drm_warn(connector->dev, "%s: EDID invalid.\n",
                         connector->name);
                return 0;
        }

        drm_edid_to_eld(connector, edid);

        quirks = drm_add_display_info(connector, edid);
	etc...
=================

If we move those out of these branches and edid != NULL, we are executing an
unnecessary clear_eld(connector) and an unnecessary drm_reset_display_info(connector)
because the fields will be set in the next drm_edid_to_eld(connector, edid) and
drm_add_display_info(connector, edid)

Do we want this ?
