The difference is in infoframes:

HDMI 1.4 sets AVI infoframe VIC to 0, and sends HDMI_VIC in VSI.

HDMI 2.0 sets AVI infoframe to non zero VICs introduced by
HDMI2.0/CEA-861-F, VSI can be omitted if I remember correctly, unless 3d
is in use.


So setting VICs to non-zero in case of HDMI1.4 sinks and 4k modes seems
risky.
