I think some more documentation is needed there to describe how it's
going to be used.

Like, you mention that it's relevant when the EDID is not valid. But if
the EDID is valid, is bypass still allowed or not?

If the ELD bypass is set, how does it affect the hdmi_codec_params being
passed to the codec?

Also, what is being returned to the userspace by hdmi_eld_ctl_get once
the bypass is enabled?

And shouldn't we call get_eld when we remove the bypass?
