dmesg

After upgrading from kernel 4.11 to 4.12, I cannot use discrete video card mode
for my Thinkpad P50 with GM107 GPU (Quandro M1000M). It will boot into blank
screen for the laptop screen. In the external screen, the console will display
some very weird font. Startx will result in blank screen again.

I tried dmesg and found error message. Full dmesg is attached.

Downgrading to kernel 4.11.5, the GPU in discrete mode works fine. It doesn't
have the EDID invalid error. 
The error persists even on the latest 4.12.8.
The hybrid mode GPU works fine for both kernels though.
