The name of the functions specifically say HDMI, so I think that's the
system to use: there are functions that say CTA in the name, like
parse_cta_y420cmdb - so that is CTA, and these functions follow HDMI.

Maybe in a v2 patch, drop a comment clarifying this? At the top of the 
drm_parse_hdmi_vsdb_video function it does say HDMI.
