Please can you add per patch changelogs, it's hard to review when I have
to recall what might have happened with each patch. If you do it drm
style and put in the commit message it should be easy enough to do.

I think going back to plain NTSC and PAL is a good choice for the common
variants.

I certainly don't want to start that discussion, but I'm really not a
fan of that format either. I'll do it for that series if you prefer.

It's not supposed to be used. It was a suggestion from Mateusz to avoid
to default to any standard when we don't initialize something. I don't
have any strong feeling about it, so I can drop it if you prefer.

The format isn't important, but especially a big series like this and
being weeks between each iteration it's difficult to follow and see
which review comments that you have chosen to implement and how. It's
almost a full review each time. Even if I see that I have acked/rewieved
a patch, if I don't remember, I have to go back to the previous version
and see if I had any comments and if you followed up on that.

The confusing thing to me is that "None" is part of the property enum
list, so the idea is that it can end up in userspace if there's a driver
error? Hmm, that won't work since TV_MODE_NONE won't be part of the
bitmask that the driver sets. So userspace reading the property ends up
with a value for which there's no enum name to match.

So usespace should be trained to know that zero for this property is a
driver error? No, not a good idea.

I think to catch a bug like this drm_atomic_connector_get_property()
should check the tv.mode value and see if it's a legal enum value and if
not it has to just pick a legal one and print an error. But I'm not sure
it's worth it to catch a bug like this. And I don't see any other enum
properties being checked for validity either before being returned to
userspace.

Based on this reasoning I think you should drop the NONE value.
