So at least the EDID firmware now gets recognized and considered :)

Maybe Daniel or Chris can comment on that high quantity of DP/HDMI
connectors seen by driver. Those are probably also the cause of the
persistent EDID complaints in kernel log.


You could maybe try to disable those outputs in xorg.conf in order to not
get your log filled with bad EDID complaints for "unused" connectors.
But as specifying the EDID as firmware it's just a work-around to the
issue.
