For this, and the DSC that Ville Syrjälä mentioned, I guess "the same behavior as max bpc" would be the most intuitive. But I don't know what that is and it's also not mentioned in the documentation.On Fri, 4 Jun 2021 19:17:21 +0200 Werner Sembach <wse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Add a new general drm property "active bpc" which can be used by graphic drivers to report the applied bit depth per pixel back to userspace. While "max bpc" can be used to change the color depth, there was no way to check which one actually got used. While in theory the driver chooses the best/highest color depth within the max bpc setting a user might not be fully aware what his hardware is or isn't capable off. This is meant as a quick way to double check the setup. In the future, automatic color calibration for screens might also depend on this information available.

May I suggest something like: This read-only range property tells userspace the pixel color bit depth actually used by the hardware display engine on "the cable" on a connector. The chosen value depends on hardware capabilities, both display engine and connected monitor, and the "max bpc" property. Drivers shall use drm_connector_attach_active_bpc_property() to install this property. There should also be something said about dithering done by the display engine (not monitor), but I'm not sure how that should be worded. It may also depend on if and how userspace can know about dithering. So if a dithering related property is added later, maybe add a note here too in that patch.
