Hey, thanks for bringing this out again. I checked the specs again, 
there are three things here:
- The spec has a section on this, and it states that in such cases CEA 
VIC should be supplied to the AVI IF.
- Also, for HDMI infoframe blocks, we dont refer to cea_edid_modes[] 
rather we go to edid_4k_modes[]
- Again, as there is no aspect ratio parsing layer in DRM right now 
(after the revert), we are doing the right thing to give aspect as per 
CEA, which is suggested by spec too.
