I did some research and this insert_pcuv is already present in the 1.40a version
of the dw-hdmi databook, so I wonder why suddenly this is needed.

The insert_pcuv is documented as:
-------------------------------------------------------
When set (1'b1), it enables the insertion of the PCUV (Parity, Channel Status, User
bit and Validity) bits on the incoming audio stream (support limited to Linear PCM
audio).
If disabled, the incomming audio stream must contain the PCUV bits, mapped
acording to 2.6.4.2 Data Mapping Examples
--------------------------------------------------------


What's interesting is this register is only present if thre DW-HDMI IP is configured
as GPAUD or GDOUBLE, meaning it must have GPAUD enabled. So it has
something to do with it, so what's value of it when GPAUD isn't present in the IP ?

And HDMI2 spec added this, even PCVU were required before:
--------------------------------------------------------
Note that PCUV refers to the parity bit (P), channel status (C), user data (U), and validity bit (V) as defined in IEC
60958-1.
--------------------------------------------------------

So it has something to do with IEC60958-1 stream format, do maybe this
insert_pcuv should only be enforced when the input stream is _not_ IEC60958-1 ?
