Yeah, good point. And the kernel-doc for legacy_gamma_set is also not
all that awesome. So we currently have i915, mediatek and omapdrm
using this, and for the new atomic gamma stuff we do have fairly
reasonable docs (just a bit harder to find that I thought they'd be):
https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/drm-kms.html#color-management-properties

I'll try and type up a patch to sprinkle a few more hints around and
connect the pieces.
