That is what I thought ... nevertheless due to the log messages I've seen in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log it seems that the NVIDIA driver now detects with the help
of

 Option "CustomEDID" "DP-0:/etc/X11/monitor.d/DP-0.bin"
 Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DP-0"
 Option "MetaModes" "DP-0: 1920x1080+0+0 { ViewPortIn=1920x1080,
ViewPortOut=1920x1080+0+0 }"

the monitor/display without of the modesetting driver.  Would be interesting if
it is possible to skip the xrandr call to switch the provider from modesetting
to NVIDIA-0 or even not to use modesetting at all.

And maybe it would be an option to add the utility to read out the EDID of
monitors/displays to the nvidia package.  On debian this is get-edid and
parse-edid ... with xrandr the modesetting driver show the hex dump and below
/sys/devices/ there is the binary edid below the  modesetting part.
