Gentle reminder Regards Shashank -----Original Message----- From: Sharma, Shashank Sent: Friday, April 18, 2014 12:01 PM To: intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Ville Syrjälä; Thierry Reding; Alex Deucher; Sean Paul; robdclark@xxxxxxxxx Cc: Shankar, Uma; Korjani, Vikas; Jindal, Sonika; Mukherjee, Indranil; Cn, Ramakrishnan Subject: Design review request: DRM color manager Hi All, Based on all the previous feedbacks, we have done the design changes in previous color manager implementation. This new design addresses following previous comments / suggestions / requirements: 1. HW agnostic design, so each driver can register its own capabilities, and own color correction methods. 2. DRM property based interface design, so can be plugged in with atomic modeset() and other DRM implementation. 3. Single interface for all color correction related properties. Please find the design document attached with the mail. I would request you all to have a look, and help us to freeze the design by provide suggestions, design changes and improvements needs etc. Once we agree on the design, we will start the implementation.

I also vote for properties. Thirded. Tegra should be able to use a hardware-agnostic description of these as well. I wonder if perhaps VESA or some other standard already defines such a format for some of these properties.
