Pondering this a bit more, it just occurred to me the current driver level checks might easily lead to confusing behaviour. Eg. is the ioctl going to succeed if you ask for an async change of some random property while the crtc disabled, but fails if you ask for the same async property change when the crtc is active? So another reason why rejecting most properties already at the uapi level might be a good idea. -- Ville Syrjälä Intel
