Right, so I thought about that, I'd love to have an API that doesn't
allow its user to do something wrong. My reflections so far:

 1/ I did not want to depend on a fix that was outside of the drm/
 directory for people that pull that directory between different
 kernels, they will end up missing the patch in video/hdmi.c.

 On the other hand, we could just tell people to sync
 drivers/video/hdmi.c and include/linux/hdmi.h along with drm/.

 2/ I was thinking that killing the _valid bits in the
 hdmi_avi_infoframe struct would not allow an _unpack() function that
 can check if the infoframe was valid.

Probably thinking too much though...
