You mean in the driver, or in IGT? Surely every field of struct
drm_mode_lut3d_mode needs to be used and tested, for values that
are possible for the hardware?
If the struct has strides, then the driver must set them and userspace
must use them, naturally. Userspace like IGT cannot go and assume
something without even looking at the struct fields.
This is why I was surprised to see the IGT code ignore most of the
struct drm_mode_lut3d_mode fields.

Yes, to me the LUT names have always been irrelevant. The names are
only a way to identify an element's position in the abstract KMS color
pipeline defined by all defined KMS properties.
