Hmm. I think either we need to change the logic in
drm_hdmi_avi_infoframe_from_display_mode() somehow to accept this
or we need to strip the aspect ratio from such modes when we probe
them.

The first option might be nicer, and something like this might even work:

But I don't quite remember off hand how the CEA VIC vs. HDMI VIC
decision plays into this, so there might be some issues with that
approach.
