Iirc there's more than one checksum: The ECC field at byte 3 and the
checksum field at byte 4. All intel hw computes the ECC itself, but
some want us to store the infoframe with an empty ECC byte as
placeholder, whereas others (sdvo encoders) insert that byte
themselves, i.e. the infoframe is actually one byte shorter. In any
case, that kind of mangling can be done in the driver with easy.
