I'm a bit concerned about this. The YCBCR_ENCODING property specifies how the content of the framebuffer is encoded. If I understand correctly, you're proposing adding an enumeration value that tells the driver not to try to be clever and multiply the CTM matrix by the CSC matrix corresponding to the encoding. That would probably work in most cases, but it would combine two pieces of information in a single property. The driver would then lose the knowledge of how the plane framebuffer is encoded. Couldn't there be cases where that knowledge is needed for other purposes than picking the right CSC matrix ? If so, it might be better to always set the YCBCR_ENCODING property to the actual encoding, and have another property to tell the driver to skip multiplication by the CSC matrix. Or could that be conveyed through the CTM blob property ? Some kind of flag that would essentially tell that the CTM matrix has been pre-multiplied already ? Before I forget, how do you plan to handle backward compatibility with userspace that won't set the YCBCR_ENCODING property ? Is that done by picking a driver-specific default value ? Do you think there would be a need for drivers to know that the property has not been set ? -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
