I mean only EDID version 1.4 and later advertises depth, so use that but default to 8 bpc:

Set bpc to 8.
if ((EDID >= 1.4) && (a depth is advertised in byte 20 bits 6-4)) then
  Set bpc to the depth advertised in the EDID.
endif

So for this bug it would stay with bpc=8, because the EDID is only version 1.3 and does not provide any depth info.
