Run it through edid-decode - the checksum is wrong.

Weird that it also says that it's an analog display when it's
connected over HDMI. Something rather bizarre there, and I think it'll
hit problems in drm_edid at [1] as we end up with a connector having
no color_formats defined. I was discussing this with Maxime only last
week, but in relation to VGA monitors connected through HDMI to VGA
adapters without rewriting the EDID.
If you have an issue between 5.16 and 5.17, then I'd guess at [2] and
your monitor not asserting hotplug correctly. The raw hotplug status
is reported in /sys/kernel/debug/dri/N/hdmi0_regs (N will be either 0
or 1 depending on the probe order of the vc4 and v3d drivers). Grep
for HDMI_HOTPLUG.
Incorrect hotplug behaviour causes grief when combined with HDMI2.0
and scrambling. If you don' t know the other end has been
disconnected, then you never know that scrambling needs to be
re-negotiated over SCDC, and the display will typically end up just
being blank.

Largely, yes, people use our vendor kernels.
Stefan Wahren has been co-ordinating Pi4 support in mainline. I
believe [3] is tracking the current state.
Maxime has been working on the vc4 driver, and it should be functional
on most hardware. It looks like yours is not complying with the
standards.
