Having some RGB2RGB and YCBCR2RGB things in the same property seems weird. I would just go with something very simple like: YCBCR_TO_RGB_CSC: * BT.601 * BT.709 * custom matrix And trying to use the same thing for the crtc stuff is probably not going to end well. Like Daniel said we already have the 'Broadcast RGB' property muddying the waters there, and that stuff also ties in with what colorspace we signal to the sink via infoframes/whatever the DP thing was called. So my gut feeling is that trying to use the same property everywhere will just end up messy. -- Ville Syrjälä Intel OTC -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
