Kernel log showing one display on and one display off

I've been using drm.edid_firmware for a long time now to provide some stability
in my setup, which includes an A/V receiver that isn't always on. However, I've
found that it still isn't as stable as I'd like it to be because this alone
doesn't force the display to be connected. Only the "e" option in the video
parameter does that so I've added it and it works but only if the display is
actually switched on at boot time!

It seems that the provided EDID file is initially ignored when the "e" option
is checked, resulting in the following error and the display actually being
forced off.

[drm:amdgpu_dm_connector_mode_valid [amdgpu]] *ERROR* No EDID firmware found on
connector: HDMI-A-1 ,forcing to OFF!

This may be because the EDID file only seems to be read during a mode set. It
certainly isn't because the file isn't available yet as I've added it to the
initramfs to make sure and the second display that is switched on picks it up.
