Sure, we can do this.
The idea was to create a separate patch for new aspect ratio, so that 
one can segregate HDMI 2.0 patches and HDMI 1.4 patches. If you still 
recommend this, I can move this part in next patch.

This is exactly how we have handled this in Android branch(with NONE as 
default), thanks for the suggestion. I will incorporate this in next 
patch set.

Yes, we are saving the right VIC from EDID, so the VIC is now a part of 
the mode flags, all we have to do extract this and write during 
preparing AVI-IF, we have a small one line patch for that. I will add 
that too in the next series.
