Nit: According to the coding style rules this should be:

	/*
	 * Data byte 1, ...
	 * ... ratio.
	 */

When I initially came up with these data structure I wanted them to
explicitly expose all the fields that CEA/HDMI specifies. The idea was
that a user would actually be allowed to generate invalid infoframes if
they chose to by modifying the hdmi_avi_infoframe structure directly.

Instead I'd prefer to see this handled by some higher level function.
