I don't think the proposed uapi will be good enough and instead we
need something like the gamma_mode prop for planes as well. Eg. even
bunch of Intel platforms have plane gamma where the input points are
not evenly spaced, so we again have the problem of either lying to
userspace and throwing away a bunch of the user provided LUT entries,
or we add the gamma_mode prop that actually describes the LUT
capabilities.
Another idea that was thrown around was supporting hardware that
supports only hardcoded gamma curves. We need to describe those
somehow and let userspace select the right one.
