Yes, seems like it does:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.12/userspace-api/media/v4l/colorspaces-defs.html#c.V4L.v4l2_quantization

I carried the option names over from "Broadcast RGB", see my other e-mail for more details.

Unknown is when no monitor is connected or is when the connector/monitor is disabled.

It also is the initial value when the driver fails to correctly set the property. This shouldn't happen, but I'm
wondering if I should still introduce an _ERROR state instead for this case?

I will rename it, maybe "unset" to match the enum? "not applicable" also fits if either the error state is defined or
not necessary.
