 Hey..

 There's a conflict with this patch and the merge of topic/hdr-formats, 
 resulting in double definitions for Y210, Y410 and P010.

 Worse still is that one has set has_alpha to true for Y41x and other to 
 false.

Looks like we both unfortunately not looked at each others series then, or at 
least I missed the HDR formats part.

I sent a patch to fix the conflicts. There's already XVYU2101010 in that 
series, which is
Y410 without alpha. I've extended it and used it to convert i915. It's 
unfortunate those
conflicts happen, but fortunately it didn't spread to drm-next or linux-next.

Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/292977/?series=58182=1

Tested it, basic tests seems to work for i915.

Apologies, I see that I was cc-ed in the mail 'drm: Add Y2xx and Y4xx
(xx:10/12/16) format definitions and fourcc' sent by
swati2.sha...@intel.com. It got lost in my pile of unread mails. :(

In light of the suggestions made by brian.star...@arm.com, I think
changing the format from Y410 to X410 (in your case) might make sense
as the alpha bits are absent.
If this suggestion looks reasonable to you, I can volunteer myself to make
this change in topic/hdr-formats.

Gah! Still wrong. It's in 1.16, with Alpha:

That's the kernel patch(es)? It looks like I did receive them via
dri-devel, and Ayan was Cc'd on two of the series', but it's
disingenuous to say they had "a few Arm devs".

I first submitted this patch with Y410 to dri-devel back in August,
and since then it's been sent 8 times by my count (with you on Cc on
all of them!), and all have been similarly completely ignored; so I'm
sorry but I don't think you can put the blame entirely with Arm here.

So what do you suggest? Can we change it, or we need to forever live
with divergent definitions in DRM vs elsewhere?

Gstreamer appears to have a Y410 definition including alpha[1], and
there's the aforementioned Microsoft page too.

To me it looks like we should change DRM, and if your HW supports
something that's "almost but not quite" Y410 then you need a different
name or only allow alpha-blend-mode "none".

Ah. Yeah there has been discussion on whether there was supposed to be alpha or 
not, but the original discussion on HDR formats has been completely ignored by 
arm.

The patch had originally a few arm devs on cc and was sent to dri-devel with 
linux-media cc'd. Was sad to see it completely ignored so after having been 
sent twice I pushed it.

Were a few bugs, but should be fixed now. :)

Well only that we didn't have hw supporting alpha, and didn't hear back from 
others so we went without alpha.

Oh that's sad :-( I think this fell through the cracks on our side
when someone left our team. Also turns out I'm not subscribed to
igt-dev.

I see you commented the same on one of the previous patches, and that
there was some discussion of this on the test patches too.

I have been referring to Microsoft's page[1] as "the" source for these
formats, which does indeed call out Y410 as having 2 bits of alpha.
Our GPU expects alpha.

Was there a specific reason for opting to change the test instead of
the definition? Any way to get this changed now?

It doesn't seem that sensible for the kernel to call something Y410
which doesn't match an "existing" definition by the same name. If
alpha needs to be ignored on scanout, the alpha blend mode property
can be used (more archaeology - I see that was still giving CRC
failures, but that might be a "known issue" for all YUV on your HW?)
