Actually I have send an email about this one to you in version 2, just past from that email: "samsung,color_space" and "samsung,color-depth" The drm_display_info's color_formats and bpc indicate the monitor display ability, but the edp driver could not take it as input video format directly. For example, with my DP TV I would found "RGB444 & YCRCB422 & & YCRCB444" support in drm_display_info.color_formats and 16bit bpc support, but RK3288 crtc driver could only output RGB & ITU formats, so finally analogix_dp-rockchip driver config crtc to RGBaaa 10bpc mode. In this sutiation, the analogix_dp core driver would pazzled by the drm_display_info, can't chose the right color_space and bpc. And this is the place that confused me, wish you could give some ideas about this one :-) - Yakir >>> When we adopted the graph bindings for iMX DRM, I thought exactly at that >>> time "it would be nice if this could become the standard for binding DRM >>> components together" but I don't have the authority from either the DT >>> perspective or the DRM perspective to mandate that.
