Ok, we discussed this a bit internally and I had some questions. Reading
this series patches make sense up to this one, but here I have a few
questions/comments.

Above two parts is core enabling, I guess those should be squashed into
the preceeding patch?

The trouble with the aspect_ratio prop as currently implemented is that we
currently unconditionally overwrite adjusted_mode->picture_aspect_ratio
with it.

But your patches here move the aspect ratio handling into
drm_mode_modeinfo (uabi) and drm_display_mode (kernel-internal), where it
imo belongs. But we need to figure out how to the interaction with the
property correctly. What's probably needed is a new value in the
aspect_ratio enum called "default", which selects the aspect_ratio from
the mode. Only when userspace overrides (NONE, or one of the CEA aspect
ratios) would we obey the aspect_ratio of the property. Otherwise the
aspect ratio stored in the mode would be lost.

The other bit that I can't find in this series is making sure we compute
the VIC correctly for the new modes. Or does that magically work correctly
since we compare the full mode when selecting VICs?

Thanks, Daniel
