Thanks for reporting this! Sorry that we failed to do sanity validation on older
platform when enabling vfio edid function for all platform.

Could you try below one to see if it fixes your problem? Instead of refusing
possible read of edid, this fixes port number for BDW.

Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/gvt: Fix port number for BDW on EDID region setup

Current BDW virtual display port is initialized as PORT_B, so need
to use same port for VFIO EDID region, otherwise invalid EDID blob
pointer is assigned.
