IIRC the spec said you can only use either one or the other.

Section 10.2 doesn't explicity say that the AVI VIC must be zero when
HDMI_VIC is non-zero, but it does more or less imply it. And looks
like appendix E outright forbids having both as non-zero.

Yes it might send unknown VICs to sinks. But that happens anyway becasue
we can't tell which VICs the sink supports. We can only try to deduce
the spec version indirectly which is not very robust. And we only do that
for CTA-861-F, earlier revisions of the spec we don't try to deduce at all.
And alternative might be to send VICs only for those modes that the sink
actually declared in the EDID, but that opens up the question of whether
we should only do that for modes that have an SVD, or whether we should
do it for modes we get by other means (eg. detailed timing descriptors).

What I wasn't suggesting was to send AVI VIC != 0 + HDMI_VIC != 0
because that is not legal.
