Thank you for your quick response!

This regression / bug was found out almost 2 YEARS ago:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=225215
and a patch was sent to upstream (see post #2), but apparently it was never pulled.

Regarding hex vs dec, the file in master they seem to be mixing both:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid.c

The product id number for a specific panel is found in Xorg.log:
fgrep EDID /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 751.496] (II) modeset(0): EDID vendor "SDC", prod id 18514

Anyway, I am hoping that Ubuntu, which has the biggest base of desktop Linux users (and in particular of people who may have bought laptops without pre-installed Windows, like Lenovo G50-80 and G50-70), would choose to fix this regression for Ubuntu users.
