Hi Harry, well explained. Indeed, if you want to keep the driver in control of the encoding on the monitor cable, then your suggestion seems correct (ignoring the question whether it breaks something existing). I do recall something about letting userspace control the encoding on the cable though, particularly when it affects performance or quality. E.g. 4:2:0 sub-sampling might be wanted in some cases and unwanted in others. It's a bit similar to bpc. The trade-off may be frame rate or resolution. It might better to know that the hardware cannot do what you ask, than to silently degrade. E.g. if you use sub-pixel rendering, you really do not want 4:2:0. That's compatible with your suggestion on changing the Colorspace property, I think it would complement it. Cable encoding parameters could be other properties, which might also be on "auto". If Colorspace property cannot be changed, then options I haven't seen discussed yet are have it force the cable encoding parameters, or another new property replacing it. > If no upstream userspace currently makes use of this property I > can make that change, i.e., no longer tie the colorspace property > directly to the infoframe and reduce the options to sRGB, BT709, > BT601, and BT2020 (and possibly opRGB). > > v2: > - Tested with DP and HDMI analyzers > - Confirmed driver will fallback to lower bpc when needed > - Dropped hunk to set HDMI AVI infoframe as it was a no-op > - Fixed BT.2020 YCbCr colorimetry (JoshuaAshton) > - Simplify initialization of supported colorspaces (Jani) > - Fix kerneldoc (kernel test robot) I recall saying this before, but in the series there are occurrences where sRGB is spelled as "RGB". I find that very confusing that "RGB" would imply anything about colorimetry when it's just a color model. Sometimes it might not be sRGB because the "default RGB" has probably not been sRGB for many years now, depending on monitor settings. See also https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pq/color-and-hdr/-/issues/17 . Then one might ask the philosophical question whether the signal on the cable is sRGB but it's just the monitor that does a gamut mapping instead.
