I also thought it was a little odd to do it via mode_set but figured it
was like that for a reason. I can't really comment on which approach is
better so some input from others would be appreciated.

Are you sure that is necessary? If you take a look at
drm_load_edid_firmware, you'll see that it already calls
drm_edid_to_eld when the drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware parameter is
given.

Right, but what if you hotplug from a display that has a readable EDID
to one that doesn't? You did this in your patch anyway.

I briefly tested while giving drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware and it
works, though I did have to assign edid via edid_blob->data like I did
in my own patch. edid_blob_ptr is not an edid struct.
