Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drm/connector: Add a new 'panel_type' property
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 11:00:16 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106170017.68158-2-superm1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106170017.68158-1-superm1@kernel.org>
If the driver can make an assertion whether a connected panel is an OLED
panel or not then it can attach a property to the connector that userspace
can use as a hint for color schemes.
Signed-off-by: Mario Limonciello (AMD) <superm1@kernel.org>
