<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Add a new general drm property "active bpc" which can be used by graphic drivers
to report the applied bit depth per pixel back to userspace.
While "max bpc" can be used to change the color depth, there was no way to check
which one actually got used. While in theory the driver chooses the best/highest
color depth within the max bpc setting a user might not be fully aware what his
hardware is or isn't capable off. This is meant as a quick way to double check
the setup.
In the future, automatic color calibration for screens might also depend on this
information available.

Hi Werner,
the idea looks good to me, but the above doc could be a little more
fluent. May I suggest something like:
This read-only range property tells userspace the pixel color
bit depth actually used by the hardware display engine on "the
cable" on a connector. The chosen value depends on hardware
capabilities, both display engine and connected monitor, and
the "max bpc" property. Drivers shall use
drm_connector_attach_active_bpc_property() to install this
property.
There should also be something said about dithering done by the display
engine (not monitor), but I'm not sure how that should be worded. It
may also depend on if and how userspace can know about dithering. So if
a dithering related property is added later, maybe add a note here too
in that patch.</pre>

For this, and the DSC that Ville Syrjälä mentioned, I guess "the
same behavior as max bpc" would be the most intuitive. But I don't
know what that is and it's also not mentioned in the documentation.<br>
