Yes, we need to define values for everything, since it's a generic
property. But for a given driver imo we should only allow the values
that are actually supported. An example would be the rotation
property, which supporsts X/Y-mirror and rotation by 90° steps. But on
a given i915 platform we only register support for the stuff the
driver/hw can do, e.g. pre-gen9 do not register 90/270° rotation. I
think we should do the same here. See
drm_plane_create_rotation_property(), specifically the
supported_rotations parameter.
