[PATCH libdrm v4 0/9] util, modetest: add support for low-color frame buffer formats

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi all,

A long outstanding issue with the DRM subsystem has been the lack of
support for low-color displays, as used typically on older desktop
systems, and on small embedded displays.

This patch series adds support for color-indexed frame buffer formats
with 2, 4, and 16 colors.  It has been tested on ARAnyM using a
work-in-progress Atari DRM driver.

Changes compared to v3[1]:
  - Rename util_smpte_index_gamma() to util_smpte_fill_lut(), and its
    first parameter from size to ncolors,
  - Move smpte_color_lut[] down,
  - Kill FILL_COLOR() macro,
  - Add and use EXPAND_COLOR() macro,
  - Replace FILL_COLOR() use by bw_color_lut[],
  - Replace FILL_COLOR() use by pentile_color_lut[],
  - Add missing C[12] to oneline-summary,
  - Do not remove memset() of full lut, else some entries may stay
    uninitialized.

Changes compared to v2[2]:
  - Add Acked-by,
  - Add Wikipedia link,
  - Dropped "[RFC] drm_fourcc: Add DRM_FORMAT_C[124]", as these were
    added in commit 329eebcf32793361 ("drm_fourcc: sync drm_fourcc with
    latest drm-next kernel") in libdrm-2.4.115.

Changes compared to v1[3]:
  - SMPTE color LUT accuracy,
  - Factor out smpte color LUT,
  - Restructure patches,
  - Improve descriptions.
  - Store number of colors for indexed formats,
  - Add SMPTE pattern support for the C1 and C2 formats.

I have also updated the merge request at [4].

Thanks for your comments!
