> Subject: [PATCH] RFC: drm/drm_plane: Expose the plane capability and
> interoperability
>
> Each plane has its own capability or interoperability based on the harware
> restrictions. If this is exposed to the user, then user can read it once on boot
> and store this. Later can be used as a lookup table to check a corresponding
> capability is supported by plane then only go ahead with the framebuffer
> creation/calling atomic_ioctl.
>
> For Ex: There are few restiction as to async flip doesnt support all the
> formats/modifiers. Similar restrictions on scaling. With the availabililty of this
> info to user, failures in atomic_check can be avoided as these are more the
> hardware capabilities.
>
> There are two options on how this can be acheived.
> Option 1:
>
> Add a new element to struct drm_mode_get_plane that holds the addr to the
> array of a new struct. This new struct consists of the formats supported and the
> corresponding plane capabilities.
>
> Option 2:
>
> These can be exposed to user as a plane property so that the user can get to
> know the limitation ahead and avoid failures in atomic_check.
>
> Usually atomic_get_property is controlled over the state struct for the
> parameters/elements that can change. But here these capabilities or the
> interoperabilities are rather hardware restrictions and wont change over flips.
> Hence having as a plane_property may not make much sense.
> On the other hand, Option 1 include changes in the uapi struct
> drm_mode_get_plane. Shouldnt have impact on backward compatibility, but if
> userspace has some implementation so as to check the size of the struct, then it
> might a challenge.
