[PATCH v1 RFC] video/hdmi: Fix HDMI_VENDOR_INFOFRAME_SIZE

When support for the HDMI vendor infoframe was introduced back with
commit 7d27becb3532 ("video/hdmi: Introduce helpers for the HDMI vendor
specific infoframe") it's payload size was either 5 or 6 bytes,
depending on:
  if (frame->s3d_struct >= HDMI_3D_STRUCTURE_SIDE_BY_SIDE_HALF)
When true the size was 6 bytes, otherwise 5 bytes.

Drivers that are using hdmi_infoframe_pack() are reserving 10 bytes (4
bytes for the header and up to 6 bytes for the infoframe payload data)
or more (exynos_hdmi reserves 25 bytes).

Over time the frame payload length was reduced to 4 bytes. This however
does not match the code from hdmi_hdmi_infoframe_pack() where ptr[8] and
ptr[9] are written, which means the infoframe has to allow up to 6 bytes
of payload data (considering that the header takes 4 bytes).

Change HDMI_VENDOR_INFOFRAME_SIZE to 6 bytes so
hdmi_vendor_infoframe_pack_only() can properly check the passed buffer
size and avoid an out of bounds write to ptr[8] or ptr[9].

Fixes: c5e69ab35c0d ("video/hdmi: Constify infoframe passed to the pack functions")
Fixes: d43be2554b58 ("drivers: video: hdmi: cleanup coding style in video a bit")

I'm not an expert on this topic and I'm not sure if the size still
depends on that if condition from long time ago. So please share your
thoughts.
