My understanding is that all of the existing HDMI vendor infoframe
code is built for HDMI_IEEE_OUI.

My thought was to make it the correct size for
drm_hdmi_vendor_infoframe_from_display_mode(). Then developers using
this "common" vendor infoframe don't have to worry much.
If there's another vendor infoframe implementation (which I'm not
aware of, but it may exist - since as you point out: it's vendor
specific) then the driver code shouldn't use
drm_hdmi_vendor_infoframe_from_display_mode() but rather implement
something custom. At that point the person implementing that will also
need to know their specific infoframe maximum size.


Best regards,
