The DRM color management framework is targeting various hardware
platforms and drivers. Different platforms can have different color
correction and enhancement capabilities.

A commom user space application can query these capabilities using the
DRM property interface. Each driver can fill this property with its
platform's palette color capabilities.

This patch adds new structure in DRM layer for querying palette color
capabilities. This structure will be used by all user space
agents to configure appropriate color configurations.

I think you provided an explanation on a previous code review cycle, but
I forget the details now...what's the benefit to using a blob for caps
rather than having these be individual properties?  Individual
properties seems more natural to me, but I think you had a justification
for blobbing them together; that reasoning would be good to include in
the commit message.

Yeah I'm leaning slightly towards individual props too, that would give us
a bit more freedom with placing them (e.g. if someone comes up with funky
hw where before_ctm and ctm are per-plane and after_ctm is on the crtc,
with only some planes support the before_ctm gamma table).
This was the part where we spent most of the time during the design review, and the reason we came up for this was: - This is a read only property, which userspace would like to read only once, and cache the information. It was also Gary's opinion to keep this as single blob for all.
- Making individual property needs more information to be provided to
user space.
- This is a blob only for pipe level capabilities, the plane level blob will be separate from this. - We can handle this HW also, by loading proper plane and pipe level capability blob. This is more convenient to have all the capabilities together at the same place, than keep on querying the same.

Also if you do per-prop properties instead of the blob you can drop the
version/reserved fields, since properties are inheritedly designed to be
extendible. So no need to revision them again (it only leads to more code
that might break).

We are anyways planning to drop the version, as per Ville's comment.
