I don't think that's a good plan. We already hit a massive snag with
the aspect ratio uapi changes. So we should aim for something that
requires no userspace changes. For this stuff I see no reason to
bother userspace with these details. A mode is just a mode, whether
it was specified in HDMI 2.0 or DMT or CVT is quite irrelevant.

But that needs the connector, which some drivers don't have ready
at hand. And we already have that information pre-parsed in the
display_info so we pretty much already have what you suggest.
The only thing is that we require the driver to get that information
since the infoframe code doesn't know how to do that for every
driver.
