Hi Maxime, I tried that one before going for the current solution but
realized that the userspace tooling I care about (KWin in particular)
doesn't recognize those properties, but it does recognize "overscan".
Maybe there's a compat helper somewhere that I missed, which would
translate between the two?

It is for TVs. Turns out that having a proper right-sized digital
input interface doesn't prevent them from doing weird stuff with the
image data, i.e. overscanning and cropping it right where one would
expect to see the system tray and panel.

Best regards,
Alexey
