I am currently not sure what the way forward should be.
We are successfully implementing this patch in e.g. LibreELEC an embedded distribution for home theater pcs. But through current bug reports - I am not sure, if we should give such functionality to the user, that is overwritten on a lower level, e.g. it does not what the user expects.
E.g. since some time displays are driven with 10 or 12 bit from the intel driver, image data is dithered, scaled back and forth without being transparent for the user. In fact we have some users with hdmi capture cards, coming back to us if some decoded values of their video stuff does not match.
Best regards

that. Then it would also work for the limited->full conversion if we
ever come up with some use case that would need such a thing. Althoguh
it does mean we'd have to check both flags when deciding how to program
the port/pipeconf range bit/pipe csc.
