Summary of my take from a fairly long (and kinda still on-going) irc
discussion:

- Where we do know the exact overscan, the kernel should expose correct
  modes and adjust the display pipeline to match if needed when
  programming the hardware. Meaning the approach in this patch series.

- For hdmi overscan there's a lot of automagic overscan happening by
  default. Drivers can mostly fix this by setting all the right
  infoframes, but unfortuantely a very big pile of infoframes is needed.
  Assuming drivers actually use the helpers I think only i915 gets them
  all, so intel_hdmi_compute_config() at the bottom would be the example
  to follow, and maybe some more code to extract from and share.

- That /should/ only leave the really old analog TV and similar horrors
  leftover. For those we simply can't even guess the right amount of
  overscan (because back then no one cared back then about really seeing
  everything), and so that's the only case where we should rely on the
  overscan properties. And that case only works when the compositor stack
  passes these properties all the way to the user, since only they can
  check when the settings are good.

The overscan properties should _not_ be used to fix issues of the previous
kind, that really should all work out of the box as much as possible.

Cheers, Sima
