It always helps to actually quote warnings or errors.
Almost certainly "drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware is deprecated, please
use drm.edid_firmware instead.", in which case do as it tells you and
use "drm.edid_firmware=<filename>".

At present you have 2 issues
- the monitor or cable doesn't handle the hotplug line correctly
- the monitor doesn't provide a valid EDID.
The first you can workaround with "video=HDMI-A-2:D".
The second you can work around by capturing the EDID, fixing it, and
then using "drm.edid_firmware=<filename>".
The first fix is to just fixup the checksum (edid-decode even tells
you the correct value as 0xEB). That doesn't solve the fact that the
EDID contains other rubbish like being an analog display which may
cause further issues. The simplest fix for reporting as an analog
display is to change byte 20 from 0x00 to 0x80, and then correct the
checksum again.
The EDID advertises 4k60, 1080p60, and GTF 2288x1432 @ 61Hz.
In order to support 4k60 it needs to support HDMI2.0 and enabling
scrambling via SCDC. That should also be signalled in the EDID Sink
Capability Data Structure block but isn't, so 4k60 support may be
compromised.
Sorry, all of this comes back to the monitor vendor shipping rubbish.
None of this is the fault of the vc4 driver, and it only worked under
5.16 by chance.

I would guess that the HDMI 1.4 setting drops the 4k60 mode as HDMI1.4
maxes out at 4k30. It's impossible for us to say if it fixes any of
the other issues with the EDID.
