Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 2/4] drm/uAPI: Add "force color format" drm property as
 setting for userspace

I'm a bit late to the game but I don't think this is merged
yet.

If no driver uses this should we expose this now? I would
prefer to leave ycbcr422 out of this until we have a driver
that actually uses it.

I've seen too many properties with ever possible value defined
but they're not used by any (open) userspace and then become
the object of intense discussion on how they should work. I
doubt that this would happen here, but I still feel a slight
aversion to defining things that no open userspace can use at
this point.

I agree with all of Sebastian and Pekka's comments elsewhere in
this thread, in particular with Sebastian's comments to not
advertise color formats that a driver can't support. See this
patch for how I implemented something similar for Colorspace
c265f340eaa8 ("drm/connector: Allow drivers to pass list of supported colorspaces")
