Thank you for reporting this issue. I have just posted a fix for this
(CC'd you) and hence the link is not yet available. Please test the
patch.
This issue surfaced because of commit 985e5dc207e1 ("drm/edid:
Populate picture aspect ratio for CEA modes") which includes
linux/hdmi.h and which got merged last month and hence the build issue
did not appear when the failing patch (commit a144c2e9f17b "
drm/exynos: sending AVI and AUI info frames") initially got merged
about a year earlier. Infact "union hdmi_infoframe" itself was added
to include/linux/hdmi.h in Aug. 2013. Now that we have something
available in global header, the next step would be to utilize that
definition instead of the local one in exynos_hdmi.c.
