This series looks pretty good; I've given some feedback on a few of the
patches, but it's all pretty minor.  And some of the feedback I gave
wound up being addressed in later patches in the series anyway; I think
you can probably squash patches 6-9 into the earlier patches to simplify
a bit.

One of the requirements to merge new features upstream is to have an
opensource userspace that makes use of it.  It sounds like you're doing
this work for Android purposes, so is the plan to add support for these
properties to hwcomposer?
