Maybe it would make sense to add a macro for the check of mtk_dp->bridge.type == 
DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_eDP
it would make the code more readable.

How about putting this in an else if branch of mtk_dp_parse_capabilities. At 
least we could get rid of the check regarding if new_edid != NULL.

I was thinking on how to put both if statements in one block, but I think the 
problem is, that we would leak memory if the capability parsing failes due to 
the call to drm_edid_duplicate(). Correct?
