Nathan,
Thanks for sending this patch. I was hoping to provide review sooner,
but have been quite busy lately.
Yeah, especially for LP64 targets, the pointer to enum is larger than
just the enum, and if it's not being updated ("in/out paramter")
there's no need to pass by pointer.

Don't you need to update the callsite of `mod_freesync_build_vrr_infopacket` in
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c#4949:
- NULL,
+ transfer_func_unknown,
Maybe at that point the `if (app_tf != NULL)` could be replaced with
`if (app_tf != transfer_func_unknown)` hoisted from
`build_vrr_infopacket_fs2_data`? (There's only one caller of
`build_vrr_infopacket_fs2_data` today, maybe fine to leave the
unconditional call and check).
Either way, I suspect without the change to
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c, that this fails to
compile?
