Introduce DRM_COLOROP_CSC_FF, a new colorop type representing a
fixed-function Color Space Conversion (CSC) block.

Unlike CTM-based colorops, this block does not expose programmable
coefficients. Instead, userspace selects one of the predefined
hardware modes via a new CSC_FF_TYPE enum property. Supported modes
include common YUV->RGB and RGB709->RGB2020 conversions.

Hi,

the fundamental idea seems fine to me, but I have a lot to say about the
nomenclature.

What would you think of a more readable name DRM_COLOROP_FIXED_MATRIX
"Fixed Matrix"?

Alternatively DRM_COLOROP_ENUM_MATRIX "Enumerated Matrix".


I was intentionally staying away from the word matrix because there was no programmable matrix but it would make sense to name it something like
DRM_COLOROP_FIXED_MATRIX (or *_PRESET_MATRIX for that matter).

I'd suggest names:

"YCbCr 601 to RGB"
"YCbCr 709 to RGB"
"YCbCr 2020 NC to RGB"
"RGB709 to RGB2020"

or something in that direction.

The relevant ITU-R BT specifications use YCbCr nomenclature IIRC. Wrt.
YCbCr-to-RGB conversion, there is no RGB601, RGB709 or RGB2020. There
is only some RGB, and which primaries it uses is not always tied to
which YCbCr conversion was used.


What I understand from this is that the BT.709(et al.) only defines the matrix that is used for YCbCr->RGB, "what" RGB it is defined by the primaries (which comes with metadata?).

I will read up on why our HW names these bits as such.

For YCbCr 2020 I feel it's nice to remember, that there are two
different conversions in the specification: the simple matrix one
called "non-constant luminance", and the complex one called "constant
luminance". Hence "NC".

It's also good to recall that YCbCr-RGB conversions are done in an
electrical space, while RGB709-to-RGB2020 conversion must be done in the
optical space. It is up to the userspace to arrange the neighbouring
colorops to use the fixed matrix right.


Ack on the above.

The Color Space Conversion Fixed-Function type is always "fixed

The name for the colorop property to choose one of the supported

Does the property name need to be unique over all colorop types?

This array is explicitly used by drm_get_colorop_type_name(). Connectors use an enum list for a similar purpose, so colorops could also reuse an enum list here, provided that the enum array index remains in sync with the corresponding enum value.

This would be a lot more obvious if it was called a "fixed matrix"

Ack.

I also wanted throw this question out there. Since we have introduced YUV to RGB conversion colorop which essentially replaces the color encoding property, would this also be the right time to bring in something to replace the color range property.

I recall Harry mentioning in the cover letter of the original series that he was working on something along those lines.
