Hi Philippe,

(CC'ing Daniel Vetter)

Thank you for the patch.

The adjusted mode is documented as

    /**
     * @adjusted_mode:
     *
     * Internal display timings which can be used by the driver to handle
     * differences between the mode requested by userspace in @mode and what
     * is actually programmed into the hardware. It is purely driver
     * implementation defined what exactly this adjusted mode means. Usually
     * it is used to store the hardware display timings used between the
     * CRTC and encoder blocks.
     */

This is easy to handle when the CRTC and encoder are controlled by the same 
driver, as the field is "implementation defined" by a single driver . However, 
when using bridges, there are two drivers involved, and they must both agree 
to meaningfully use the adjusted mode. I can't see how to do so without 
standardizing the meaning of the adjusted mode field.

Daniel, what's your opinion on this ?
