For those who are interested in the InfoFrame parser:
https://git.linuxtv.org/hverkuil/edid-decode.git/log/?h=hverkuil
This is work-in-progress, and will definitely be rebased at times.
It is integrated into edid-decode since I want to be able to check the
InfoFrames against the EDID capabilities. If no EDID is given, then
those checks are skipped.
You can parse the InfoFrames with -I <path-to-if-file>. All known InfoFrames
are parsed, and I am working on adding the checks against the EDID whenever
time permits.
It's quite handy already as a parser, but it is really the checks against the
EDID that will make this really useful.
A related note: exposing InfoFrames is equally useful for the media subsystem
for video receivers (and the odd V4L2 video transmitter driver). I did look
at whether any of this drm code could be generalized, but it is too different
and frankly not worth the effort.
Also, when receiving InfoFrames you don't want to use the hdmi.h functions,
you want to dump the raw unprocessed InfoFrame.
I did a proof-of-concept for the adv7511-v4l2 tx and adv7604 rx drivers here:
https://git.linuxtv.org/hverkuil/media_tree.git/commit/?h=infoframe&id=19c80e21b30e2cafc0669cfae093a0b7a17c6b55
I am using debugfs here as well, but I am not actually certain whether that's
the best approach, esp. for receivers where access to InfoFrames can be very
useful for userspace. Options are e.g. /sys/class/video4linux/<devnode>/infoframes
or perhaps using V4L2 controls. TBD.
