4096x2160 monitor has EDID reporting 3840x2160

Thank you for your reply.  I took your advice and tried it.  None of it
really surprises me.

The problem seems pretty simple.  There is simply nothing in the EDID that
mentions that it's a 4096x2160 monitor.  From looking at the code, I don't
see any possible code path that would allow it to somehow discover a mode
higher than what the EDID reports.  Even if I did hit the code path that
infers new modes, the function valid_inferred_mode will reject any
resolution that's higher.  Is there a mechanism for discovering these
higher modes that I'm missing?

I'm willing to work on a patch that would make this monitor "just work".
What I'm interested in is what a patch for this would even look like.  I
assume this would need to be added as a "quirk" since the EDID is factually
wrong.

Here's the relevant logs:

I'm willing to write a patch, but I'm wondering what it should look like.
