This series parses one of the dark corners of the EDID to expose "4k x 2k"
modes to userspace. Those modes are part of HDMI 1.4.

To complete the 4k HDMI support, one needs:

  * Hardware able to output a 300 MHz TMDS clock (Haswell can do that) and
    Daniel's patch to bump that limit in the kernel (already queued).

  * The 2 patches attached here to parse the HDMI VICs in the HDMI vendor
    specific CEA block.

  * A DDX patch (for UXA) already merged (and in 2.21.14)

Additionally, edid-decode has been taught about those modes as well:
