Unintended colon? While I think it's nice to have, there is none elsewhere,
even in previous patches, and I'd say we can live happy without.

As for patch 9, for consistency:

struct vkms_configfs_plane *plane = plane_item_to_vkms_configfs_plane(item);

I'm mentioning here as it comes to mind, but it's valid for other similar
patches in this series: why not adding a

#define DRM_COLOR_ENCODINGS_SUPPORTED ( \
BIT(DRM_COLOR_YCBCR_BT601) |
BIT(DRM_COLOR_YCBCR_BT709) |
BIT(DRM_COLOR_YCBCR_BT2020))

and use it in place of the various bitwise-or sequences?

This would simplify work later on if adding a new color encoding (or color
range, or...).

Somewhat like DRM_MODE_*_MASK.

And here the comment is definitely wrong. :-)

There's no such comment in other places, so for consistency remove it (or
add it everywhere?!? ... no, just kidding).

Shouldn't you check that exactly one bit is set? As in patch 9.

As before, wrong comment.
