hey there, I have the exact same problem, but I couldn't find a solution yet.
I included the edid file using the script given above:

lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-5.11.0-25-generic | grep edid
usr/lib/firmware/edid
usr/lib/firmware/edid/edid.bin

my grub config looks like this:

cat /etc/default/grub
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

and dmesg logs the following:

sudo dmesg | grep edid
[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-5.11.0-25-generic root=UUID=79d59e63-ceea-4975-abf4-b34964ea06c0 ro rootflags=subvol=@ drm.edid_firmware=edid/edid.bin quiet splash vt.handoff=7

Though, I still have a low monitor resolution at boot time, which becomes correct when completely booted.
Have I missed anything here?
I'm using Ubuntu 21.04.

I already tried to get the edid file using the nvidia control panel and the read-edid tool, both didn't work.
