So is the problem here that we've no way to change the supported enum values at runtime? Conceptually, do you think there's a problem with the kernel only exposing the colorspaces that the sink supports (if that were possible)? I'm wondering if changing the current property infrastructure is better than punting the job to userspace to decode the EDID. > > Have tested this using xrandr by using below command: > xrandr --output HDMI2 --set "Colorspace" "BT2020_rgb" > It would also be really great to get some more comprehensive documentation about how this property is meant to be used. Is the expectation that userspace does everything? i.e.: - Userspace sets up CRTC DEGAMMA/CTM/GAMMA to convert to some sink colorspace - Userspace sets this new property to let the sink know what it converted the CRTC output to. Or in other words, I think this new property has zero impact on any pixel processing in the pipeline - it only sets the colorspace in the infoframe. That seems very valuable to write down explicitly. BTW, is there already a standard property for converting CRTC output to YCbCr? And does that interact with picking the YCC colorimetries with this property?
