I can't speak for the amdgpu developers, but they seem to be already
very busy with bugs in the default driver configuration.  Since the
Display Core code has been around since 2017, I don't think it's
reasonable to expect that the old code path continues to be supported
for GPUs that Display Core supports.

It may be more productive to report the problem with ddcutil in Display
Core.

For what it's worth, ddcutil works for me with amdgpu and a monitor
connected via HDMI/DVI.  This computer has a slightly newer generation
of GPU than yours, though.

Ben.
