[PATCH v4 00/13] Enable Colorspace connector property in amdgpu

[Harry Wentland]

This patchset is based on Joshua's previous patchset [1], as well
as my previous patchset [2].

It is
- enabling support for the colorspace property in amdgpu, as well as
- allowing drivers to specify the supported set of colorspaces, and

Colorspace, Infoframes, and YCbCr matrix
---------------------------------------

Even though the initial intent of the colorspace property was to set the
colorspace field in the respective HDMI AVI and DP SDP infoframes that
is not sufficient in all scenarios. For DP the colorspace information
also affects the MSA (main stream attribute) packet. For YUV output the
colorspace affects the RGB-to-YCbCr conversion matrix. The colorspace
field of the infopackets also depends on the encoding used, which is
something that is decided by the driver and not known to userspace.

For these reasons a driver will need to be able to select the supported
colorspaces at property creation.

Note: There seems to be an understanding that the colorspace property
should ONLY modify the infoframe. While this is current behavior and
sufficient in some cases it is nowhere specified that this should be the
only use of this property. As outlined above this limitation is not
going to work in all cases.

This patchset does not affect current behavior for the drivers that
implement this property: i915 and vc4.

In the future we might want to give userspace control over the encoding
format on the wire, in particular to avoid use of YUV420 when image
fidelity is important. This work would likely go hand in hand with a
min_bpc property and wouldn't conflict with the work done in this
patchset. I would expect this future work to tag along with a drm_crtc
or drm_connector's Color Pipeline, similar to the one propsed for
drm_plane [3].

Colorspace on crtc or connector?
--------------------------------

There have been suggestions of programming 'colorspace' on the drm_crtc
but I don't think the crtc is the right place for this property. The
drm_plane and drm_crtc will be used to offload color processing that
would normally be done via the GFX or other pipelines. The drm_connector
controls the signalling with the display and ensures the wire format is
appropriate for the encoding by programming the RGB-to-YCbCr matrix.

v2:
- Tested with DP and HDMI analyzers
- Confirmed driver will fallback to lower bpc when needed
- Dropped hunk to set HDMI AVI infoframe as it was a no-op
- Fixed BT.2020 YCbCr colorimetry (JoshuaAshton)
- Simplify initialization of supported colorspaces (Jani)
- Fix kerneldoc (kernel test robot)

v3:
- Added documentation for colorspaces (Pekka, Joshua)
- Split 'Allow drivers to pass list of supported colorspaces' patch
  to pull out code to create common colorspace array and keep it separate
  from change to create only supported colorspaces

v4:
- Don't "deprecate" existing enum values
- Fixes based on review comments throughout
- Dropped Josh's RBs
