The driver just provides the EDID to the xserver if there is one.  The xrandr
core code in the xserver parses the modes and puts the EDID into the output
property.  xrandr --props works fine here and shows the EDID blocks for all
attached displays.  Note some laptops do not have an EDID for the internal
panel although most do; in those cases the vbios just provides native mode
timing for the panel.  Also, you won't get an EDID if the driver is not able to
get one due to the monitor not providing one or the drm EDID checker rejecting
the it.
