The i915 code around this is already a big mess, and I don't really adding to that mess. So I think we'll need to do some refactoring before we add anything there. I already started typing something and so far it looks fairly straightforward, so I should have something soon. While doing that several questions came to my mind though: * More interactions with the colorspace property, but I sent a separate mail already about that * Which conversion matrix to use, and the answer I suspect should be "ask the colorspace property", as mentioned in the other mail * Should we flat out reject color formats (and I suppose also colorspace prop values) the sink doesn't claim to support? If yes, then I think we'll have to forget about adding anything = to i915 MST code. The way the MST stuff works is that if one stream needs a modeset then all the related streams get modeset as well. Thus if the user replaces a monitor getting fed with a YCbCr stream just as another stream is being modeset, then the entire atomic commit could fail due to the YCbCr stream getting rejected. I think eventually we might have to invent some mechanism where all the input into the modeset computation is cached somehow, and said cache updated only on explicit userspace modesets. Either that or we have to come up with a way to skip some of the calculations that depend on external factors. Either way it's going to be a pain. OTOH if we don't mind feeding the sink with stuff it can't understand, then I suppose we might add YCbCr 4:4:4 support for MST. It shouldn't be any different from RGB apart from the RGB->YCbCr conversion, which is handled elsewhere. But YCbCr 4:2:0 is definitely out either way, the MST code has no support for that currently. -- = Ville Syrj=E4l=E4 Intel _______________________________________________ Linux-rockchip mailing list Linux-rockchip@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-rockchip
