Appedix F of HDMI 2.0 says that some HDMI sink may fail to switch from
3D to 2D mode in a timely fashion if the source simply stops sending the
HDMI infoframe. The suggested workaround is to keep sending the
infoframe even when strictly not necessary (ie. no VIC and no S3D).
HDMI 1.4 does allow for this behaviour, stating that sending the
infoframe is optional in this case.
The infoframe was first specified in HDMI 1.4, so in theory sinks
predating that may not appreciate us sending an uknown infoframe
their way. To avoid regressions let's try to determine if the sink
supports the infoframe or not. Unfortunately there's no direct way
to do that, so instead we'll just check if we managed to parse any
HDMI 1.4 4k or stereo modes from the EDID, and if so we assume the
sink will accept the infoframe. Also if the EDID contains the HDMI
2.0 HDMI Forum VSDB we can assume the sink is prepared to receive
the infoframe.
v2: Fix getting has_hdmi_infoframe from display_info
Always fail constructing the infoframe if the display
possibly can't handle it

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
