So I dug a bit into both the i915 and vc4 drivers, and it looks like if we're using a YCbCr format, i915 will always use a limited range while vc4 will follow the value of the property. I guess the best way to reconcile that would be to state that it also controls the YCbCr range, and i915 can choose to reject/adjust the configurations it can't support. Does that make sense? Maxime
