output from edid-decode from hacked EDID file

I have a tv that does not handle YCbCr properly but advertises it in his EDID. So I have to force Full RGB over HDMI because it seems that my RX 570 uses YCbCr by default (maybe because of the HDMI connection?).
There is no switch to force Full RGB so I downloaded the EDID with get-edid using i2c and hacked it to disable the advertisement of YcbCr. I copied it to the initrd and force loaded it via drm.edid_firmware=edid/PhilipsFTV.bin.
It works:
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.0.0-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=1c91ef55-0cf6-4694-bd2a-29aeb6492b3b ro drm.edid_firmware=edid/PhilipsFTV.bin
[    0.849967] platform HDMI-A-1: firmware: direct-loading firmware edid/PhilipsFTV.bin
[    0.850055] [drm] Got external EDID base block and 1 extension from "edid/PhilipsFTV.bin" for connector "HDMI-A-1"

But the problems with my tv persist. So I think that the forced EDID is ignored by AMDGPU.

I forgot: using amdgpu.dc=0 seems to respect the forced edid, the tv works fine but then I have no sound, so this is not really a workaround.
