If I was not very clear for the first time, every time we send a patch to
drm-intel/dri-devel, we do basic testing on Gnome-desktop too (Not only
Android).
So even these aspect ratio patches were tested with full gnome-desktop, and
it worked well.
I guess the part that's not so obvious is that Linux
desktop/distributions provide a very wide permutation of components
and configs used. While on a local (test) setup only a small/limited
set is available. Esp. on Android where things are _very_ tightly
coupled.
I agree, Emil.
I was only mentioning my testing with Gnome, to confirm that intel-ddx
is not broken with Gnome desktop.
And I was testing on both Android as well as X.
Obviously nobody likes when we have to carry kernel patches which
workaround "broken" userspace, but it's a kernel policy and we all
have to live with it. That's the main reason people are so
careful/pedantic when it comes to UABI. And as you can see even then
there are bits that we miss :'-(
I agree, again. But I was thinking if reverting the patch was the best
way, else it would be impossible to
add something new in the kernel. I hope experts like you and others can
suggest the right way.

Emil
