Line too I think. And maybe insert empty lines between each item, to make
them stand out more. Shouldn't affect rendering, but better to recheck.

I think it'd be good to highlight setting connectors_changed from this
callback:
"If this callback determines that the property change requires a full
modeset, it can set &drm_crtc_state->connectors_changed to steer the
control flow in drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset()."
With those nits addressed, Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx>
Would be good to get DK to r-b the patch too before merging, just for
practice and coordination.
