[PATCH v8 01/14] drm: Define histogram structures exposed to user

[Arun R Murthy]

Display Histogram is an array of bins and can be generated in many ways
referred to as modes.
Ex: HSV max(RGB), Wighted RGB etc.

Understanding the histogram data format(Ex: HSV max(RGB))
Histogram is just the pixel count.
For a maximum resolution of 10k (10240 x 4320 = 44236800)
25 bits should be sufficient to represent this along with a buffer of 7
bits(future use) u32 is being considered.
max(RGB) can be 255 i.e 0xFF 8 bit, considering the most significant 5
bits, hence 32 bins.
Below mentioned algorithm illustrates the histogram generation in
hardware.

hist[32] = {0};
for (i = 0; i < resolution; i++) {
	bin = max(RGB[i]);
	bin = bin >> 3;	/* consider the most significant bits */
	hist[bin]++;
}
If the entire image is Red color then max(255,0,0) is 255 so the pixel
count of each pixels will be placed in the last bin. Hence except
hist[31] all other bins will have a value zero.
Generated histogram in this case would be hist[32] = {0,0,....44236800}

Description of the structures, properties defined are documented in the
header file include/uapi/drm/drm_mode.h

v8: Added doc for HDR planes, removed reserved variables (Dmitry)
