Almost all SoCs from SDM845 to SM8550 inclusive feature a GC1.8

more, but none of them are supported upstream.

This series adds configures the GCv1.8 on all the relevant SoCs.

Does this mean that we will see gamma_lut support soon?
No promises, my plate is not even full, it's beyond overflowing! :P

So I think I wrote about this before during the catalog rework/fixes that the gc registers are not written to / programmed.

If thats not done, is there any benefit to this series?
Completeness and preparation for the code itself, if nothing else?

The usual problem is that if something is not put to use, it quickly rots or becomes misused for newer platforms. We have seen this with the some of DPU features.

In case of GC (and the freshly defined DPU_DSPP_IGC, but not used) we have three options:
- drop the unused GC from msm8998_sblk.
- keep things as is, single unused GC entry
- fill all the sblk with the correct information in hope that it stays correct

Each of these options has its own drawbacks. I have slight bias towards the last option, to have the information in place (as long as it is accurate).


My vote is for (1) . Today, GC is unused and from the discussion here, there is no concrete plan to add it. If we keep extending an unused bitmask for all the chipsets including the ones which will get added in the future in the hope that someday the feature comes, it doesnt sound like a good idea.

I would rather do (1), if someone has time. OR lets stay at (2) till someone does (1).

When someone implements GC, we can re-use this patch and that time keep konrad's author rights or co-developed by.
