Let's debug this a bit further first. Also, I think an EDID firmware
(i.e. providing an override EDID from userspace using drm.edid_firmware
module parameter) would be preferrable to quirking. But first things
first.

The binary EDID would be preferrable, because the parsed EDID is always
limited by the parser.
It would be best to attach such details to a bug report rather than
pollute the list. Would you mind filing a bug over at [1], referencing
this thread, and attaching the details there?
Thanks,
