Yes, that's ugly. I will do a search for the EDID that prompted me to make this change. Maybe it's not a problem anymore.

Seems like the problem I had was fixed in cta_hdr10plus. I'll do more checking and testing with other calls to hex_block.

Hmm, with this change I get this:
edid-decode -c Digital/Acer/ACR0282/B12D637C1F12 with the linuxhw database:
Vendor-Specific Data Block (HDMI), OUI 00-0C-03:
Source physical address: 2.0.0.0
Unknown CTA-861 tag 0x00, length 0
Unknown CTA-861 tag 0x00, length 0
Unknown CTA-861 tag 0x00, length 0
Unknown CTA-861 tag 0x00, length 0
Unknown CTA-861 tag 0x00, length 0
Unknown CTA-861 tag 0x00, length 0
Unknown CTA-861 tag 0x00, length 0
That looks pretty ugly.
