Right, so I included patch 5/6 to the v4 of the series, putting
preventing someone from generating invalid infoframes before the
hypothetical use-case where we want the detail of the fields.

We are, de-facto, excluding the case where we'd want to have _unpack()
variants decoding infoframes, but that would only be useful if we wanted
to check the validity of infoframes in the kernel for instance. I think
it's unlikely we'd like to do that. It's also straightforward to revert
the 2 patches if/when that happens.
