Re: [v12 15/15] drm/i915/display: [NOT FOR MERGE] Reduce blanking to support 4k60@10bpp for LSPCON

Hello Uma,

This expectations from user-space of having to adjust the timings of video mode doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

This seems more like a quirk, and it should be better kept in I915 layer itself.


Else, it will enforce user space to write a lot of vendor specific code, like:

- Is it Intel device ?

- Is it GEN9 ?

- Is it Gen9 + LSPCON ?

- Are we planning for a HDR playback ?

which is not what most of the compositors developers would be interested in.


I was talking to some of the Kodi folks and they also seem to think that it should go in driver.

Any reason why can't we add this code in encoder->compute_config() or mode_fixup() ?

compute_config() will have all the information above required, as this might be required for future LSPCON based devices as well.


Regards

Shashank
