The initial idea of the Colorspace prop was that this maps 1:1 to
InfoFrames/SDP but KMS does not give user space enough information nor
control over the output format to figure out which variants can be used
for a given KMS commit. At the same time, properties like Broadcast RGB
expect full range quantization range being produced by user space from
the CRTC and drivers to convert to the range expected by the sink for
the chosen output format, mode, InfoFrames, etc.
This change documents the reality of the Colorspace property. The
Default variant unfortunately is very much driver specific and not
reflected by the EDID. The BT2020 variants are in active use by generic
compositors which have expectations from the driver about the
conversions it has to do when selecting certain output formats.
Everything else is also marked as undefined. Coming up with valid
behavior that makes it usable from user space and consistent with other
KMS properties for those variants is left as an exercise for whoever
wants to use them.
v2:
* Talk about "pixel operation properties" that user space configures
* Mention that user space is responsible for checking the EDID for sink
support
* Make it clear that drivers can choose between RGB and YCbCr on their
own

Hi Sebastian,
should it be more explicit that drivers are allowed to do only
RGB->YCbCr and quantization range conversions, but not TF nor gamut
conversions?
That is, if the driver cannot pick the TF implied by "Colorspace"
property for the sink, then it cannot pick another TF for the sink and
silently convert. It think this should apply to all options including
the undefined ones. Or is that too much to guess?
> + *
> + * User space has to check if the sink supports all of the possible

All? Rather than at least one?
Is this how it has been implemented for BT2020, that userspace picked
colorimetry and driver picked color model and quantization are
completely independent, and drivers do not check the combination
against EDID?
If so, "all" it is. Would be good to explain this in the commit message.

This looks really good. This also makes me need to revisit the Weston
series I've been brewing that adds "Colorspace" KMS support.
I think the two questions I had may be slightly too much in the
direction of improving rather than just documenting this property, so
I'll already give

AFAIK the driver exposes all Colorspace variants that it can support in
the driver, independent of the sink. That means user space has to make
sure that the sink supports all colorimetry variants the driver can
pick.
Would be good to get a confirmation from Harry and Ville.

Right, this could be possible and is probably even better than what I

I didn't mean exposing but the driver could reject the atomic commit
that would lead to a combination not advertised as supported in EDID.
If drivers reject, then userspace does not need to check for all
driver-choosable variants, just one would be enough. Theoretically not
needing all might allow some cases to work that don't support all.
"Colorspace" property value could direct the driver's choice based on
what EDID claims to support.
Of course, if drivers don't do that already, then "all" it must be.
