Yes, this is a bug. Following my input from the previous patch I
think you should also check for HDMI_PICTURE_ASPECT_RESERVED or
user a helper to check that. I'm also wondering if this should go
to stable since the vics with aspect ratio > 16:9 were
introduced. We are indeed corrupting the AVI infoframe.
