DaVinci Resolve needs a LUT calibration as it doesn't accept .icc profiles.

What worries me: this LUT calibration starts with manually balancing red, blue, and green channel on the monitor via buttons on the monitor, only then the automatic process with hundreds of patches (we know from .icc calibration) would start.
So this would likely mess up the .icc profile (as it seems to adjust the monitor's basic settings). So am I alright to create a new .icc profile after that LUT calibration and can these two calibrations co-exist?
Has anyone done a LUT profiling of his monitor? Does the manual change of the rgb colors give a problem for an .icc calibration?
I'm finishing up two projects and losing my color management for Photoshop would be a nightmare.
I have an Eizo that does not have 3d LUT storage built in. I saves a 1D LUT + matrix. An associated .icc profile is also created with the profile for this set-up which will tell Photoshop what the display color space is for proper photoshop use.
So, to create the 3D LUT for Resolve, and the .icc profile for photoshop, I run Colornavigator software to set up my display to D65 white point, Native color space. (full gamut that the display is capable of) This creates a .icc profile for the operating system (this profile doesn't effect the state of the display, it's a null correction with the display data).
Next, I create a 3D LUT using Resolve and Displaycal. (you can use Calman or Lightspace also) This LUT limits my display to REC709 colorspace and sets the correct gamma for color grading. (either 2.4 or 2.2 gamma. It's your choice)
When running Resolve, the 3d LUT is applied to the video output of my decklink device to the display and I'm ready for color grading video.
When using photoshop through the displayport, my display is in full color gamut and all files are displayed correctly.
It's all pretty easy, except for making the 3d LUT for Resolve. That has a bit bigger learning curve than the typical i1, or spectraview display calibration software.
