I still don't fully understand it either. I have wandered inside the
atomic machinery countless times to track what happens to this or that
state/property and 2 weeks later the insight is gone. It just doesn't
stick. What makes it difficult for me I believe is that I have never
looked much at the userspace side, how this is all used.

This is legacy behaviour that was moved over from drm_fb_helper. It
cleared the modeset before probing for a new useable modeset. So the
same applies when the client sets the modeset itself, we need to clear
out the previous modeset.

If drm_client was written from scratch, the state/modeset would not be
stored in drm_client_dev, but stored by the client.

With the current situation a client can't check a configuration while
retaining a working config/state. It looses the working state setting up
one for testing.

This is not a problem for my usecase, but it can be for a future
usecase. Since it works for me I decided to keep it as-is instead of
trying to fix this without knowing what the future usecase might be.

Not needed here because drm_client_modeset_commit() supports
legacy/non-atomic.

Ah, I haven't documented this. This actually clears the modesets. If
this is commited, it results in all outputs being turned off.
Maybe I should do a drm_client_modeset_clear() instead.

It is possible to implement for legacy drivers in
drm_client_modeset_commit_legacy() like the plane property is done, but
I'm not going to do it. So it's not a TODO, but should imply a possibility.

If you a have a better way to express that I'm all ears.

Indeed, I should follow up on the docs and return -EOPNOTSUPP.

prop is stored in the drm_mode_config object and is immutable so we
don't take ownership, but merely get a ref to it. For atomic the
property value is stored in the state. See
drm_atomic_connector_set_property() as an example.

Example use:

drm_client_modeset_set_property(client, &connector->base,
config->tv_hue_property, val);

If you look at this function in full, you see that we allocate a state
and set properties on that state. So we only change this local state. We
need to set the properties when checking so see if the driver accepts them.

If all drivers where atomic, we could let the client have access to
drm_atomic_state instead of storing modesets and properties in
drm_client_dev. Maybe we could have a drm_client_state structure to hold
modesets and properties, I don't know. Maybe Daniel can chime in here,
if we want to fix this now or leave it to a future user that needs to
check one config while having a working config.
