Hi,
is there a reason why one cannot have more primary planes than CRTCs in
existence?
Daniel implied that in <20201209003637.GK401619@phenom.ffwll.local>,
but I didn't get the reason for it yet.
E.g. if all your planes are interchangeable in the sense that you can
turn on a CRTC with any one of them, would one not then expose all the
planes as "Primary"?
If the planes have other differences, like supported formats or
scaling, then marking them all "Primary" would let userspace know that
it can pick any plane with the suitable properties and expect to turn
on the CRTC with it.
Or does marking a plane as "Primary" imply something else too, like
"cannot scale"? I think Weston does make this assumption in an attempt
to hit fewer causes for failure.
Thanks,
pq
