Maybe better like this:
if (mtk_dp->bridge.type == DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_eDP && mtk_dp->edid)

To in sync with the if statement below. Anyway we are only concerned if it's an 
eDP so check that first (and hope the compiler will do so as well ;)

With that:

I think the only reasonable solution would be a macro like:
DRM_CONNECTOR_MODE_IS(mtk_dp->bridge.type, eDP) which in the end is longer then 
open-code it, so probably just leave it as it is.
