Some background here: I maintain the edid-decode utility to parse and verify
EDIDs, and an infoframe-decode counterpart would be very nice. I can add
support for exposing infoframes to debugfs in HDMI receivers as well, and
that will help parse and verify received infoframes for correctness.

I added the linux-media mailinglist as well, since this will be of interest
for that subsystem as well.
