Why not move the "nvidia,ddc" from encoder's DT to panel's DT? In that
case, you can get EDID here. I know drm has some helpers to fetch EDID
but I recall there are some other functions which has no drm
dependencies which may be suitable for you.

DDC access is a property of the display controller, not the panel
itself. The panel might be hooked up to a display controller's DDC/I2C
channel as the target, but it isn't the host/controller of the DDC/I2C
channel. As such, placing the nvidia,ddc property into the display
controller node makes sense.

Re: the other discussion in this thread: Probably the simplest is if
tegradrm/other-CDF-users do something like:

1) If DDC I2C channel available for this display channel, query DDC.
2) If not, or perhaps also if that fails, query the panel driver for the
mode list.

That would cover all bases very simply.
