[PATCH v4 09/17] drm/uAPI: Add "active color range" drm property as feedback for userspace

Fri Jun 18 09:11:08 UTC 2021


Add a new general drm property "active color range" which can be used by
graphic drivers to report the used color range back to userspace.

There was no way to check which color range got actually used on a given
monitor. To surely predict this, one must know the exact capabilities of
the monitor and what the default behaviour of the used driver is. This
property helps eliminating the guessing at this point.

In the future, automatic color calibration for screens might also depend on
this information being available.
