Please confirm this issue does not happen with the proprietary driver (of the same version). This issue tracker is only for bugs specific to the open kernel driver.

Hardware: GPU
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (UUID: GPU-6876e04a-68a4-5e19-e878-92ec308679d4)
Describe the bug
I developed a program to output images by DRM, with libdrm 2.4.113.
When with the default EDID from monitor, the screen shows correct color (output red color).
But it shows error when using custom EDID ( even use the same EDID as the monitor).
To Reproduce
- override edid:
echo HDMI-A-1:edid/custom-edid.bin > /sys/module/drm/parameters/edid_firmware - run test program to output red color:
sudo ./test 1000 0 0 - check the monitor output

Research direction
Start by inspecting test.zip and nvidia-bug-report.log.gz, then reproduce on Ubuntu 22.04.4 with kernel 6.5.0-41 and driver 550.90.07 using the documented custom EDID override. Compare the DRM program's output with the default and custom EDID cases; done means the custom EDID path produces the same correct red image or the driver limitation is documented.
