With the introduction of the HDMI Connector framework the driver might

This change does not look right to me.
I wonder why we need this check because DRM_MODE_PROP_IMMUTABLE means
that as per the doc, userspace cannot change the property.

Here we are allowing userspace to change max_bpc
drm_atomic_connector_set_property()
{
**********
} else if (property == connector->max_bpc_property) {
state->max_requested_bpc = val;
**********
}
I believe you are referring to this IGT check right?
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/-/blob/master/tests/kms_properties.c#L428
Yes
I think we should fix IGT in this case unless there is some reason we
are missing. Because just because it has the same min and max does not
mean its immutable by the doc of the IMMUTABLE flag.
Well, having the same min and max means that it is impossible to
change the property. So the property is immutable, but doesn't have
the flag.
True, then does DRM_MODE_PROP_IMMUTABLE need a doc update too indicating
that even if the min and max is same, property will be interpreted as
immutable.
