I mean directories that are never written by CdIccStore. Of course
they may be written by other means.

Maybe not exactly EDID but some other file name generation procedure.
And there's no need to know the actual name. Something like tmpfile(3)
function for CdIcc but with predictable name generation that looks
like "unnamed" ICC file.

An example:

icc = cd_icc_new();
cd_icc_create_from_edid(icc, ...);
cd_icc_set_...(icc, ...);
cd_icc_save_store(icc, store); // generates file name based on the above info
