Was confused for a while why this has even been workning, but I guess 
that's due to userspace populating the metadata infoframe blob correctly
even if we misreported the metadata types in the parsed EDID metadata
blob.

Hmm. Actually on further inspection this all seems to be dead code. The
only thing we seem to use from the parsed EDID metadata stuff is
eotf bitmask. We check that in drm_hdmi_infoframe_set_hdr_metadata()
but we don't check the metadata type.

Maybe we should just nuke this EDID parsing stuff entirely? Seems
pretty much pointless.
