[PATCH 00/16] Color Manager Implementation

[Kausal Malladi]

This patch set adds Color Manager implementation in DRM layer. Color Manager is
an extension in DRM framework to support color correction/enhancement. Various
Hardware platforms can support several color correction capabilities.
Color Manager provides abstraction of these capabilities and allows a
user space UI agent to correct/enhance the display using the DRM property interface.

How is this going to work?
==========================
1. This patch series adds a few new properties in DRM framework. These properties are:
	a. color_capabilities property (type blob)
	b. Color Transformation Matrix property for corrections like CSC (called CTM, type blob)
	c. Palette correction properties for corrections like gamma fixup (called palette_correction, type blob)
2. Also, this patch series adds few structures to indicate specifications of a property like size, no_of_samples for correction etc.
3. These properties are present in mode_config.
4. When the platform's display driver loads, it fills up the values of color_capabilities property using the standard structures (added in step 2).
   For example, Intel's I915 driver adds following color correction capabilities:
	a. gamma correction capability as palette correction property, with 257 correction coefficients and a max/min value
	b. csc correction capability as CTM correction property, with 3x3 transformation matrix values and max/min values
5. Now when userspace comes up, it queries the platform's color capabilities by doing a get_property() on color_capabilities DRM property
6. Reading the blob, the userspace understands the color capabilities of the platform.
   For example, userspace will understand it can support:
	a. palette_correction with 257 coefficients
	b. CSC correction with 3x3 = 9 values
7. To set color correction values, userspace:
	a. creates a blob using the create_blob_ioctl in standard palette_correction structure format, with the correction values
	b. calls the set_property_ioctl with the blob_id as value for the property
8. Driver refers to the blob, gets the correction values and applies the correction in HW.
9. To get currently applied color correction values, userspace:
	a. calls a get_property_ioctl on that color property
	b. gets the blob_id for the currently applied correction from DRM infrastructure
	c. gets the blob using get_blob_ioctl and hence the currently applied values

That's all! :)

About the patch series:
=======================
The first patch adds fix for ensuring atomic commit for CRTC properties.
The subsequent patches add code for the framework, which will be common across all the Hardware platforms.
1. Create Color Management DRM properties
2. Attach color properties to CRTC
3. Add structures at DRM level for color management

The generic properties supported in this patch set are
1. Color Transformation Matrix (CTM) for generic usecases like color space conversion and Gamut Mapping
2. Palette correction before CTM for specific usecases like DeGamma color correction
3. Palette correction after CTM for specific usecases like Gamma color correction

In the subsequent patches, we are adding support for Gamma, DeGamma and CSC color properties for one of the Intel platforms, CHV, as an example.

Our thanks to all the reviewers who have given valuable comments in terms of design and implementation to our previous sets of patches.
Special mention of thanks should go to Matt Roper for all his inputs/suggestions in implementation of this module, using DRM atomic CRTC commit path.
