[PATCH v6 3/3] drm: writeback: Add client capability for exposing writeback connectors

From: Liviu Dudau
Date: Wed Feb 28 2018 - 11:51:21 EST


Due to the fact that writeback connectors behave in a special way
in DRM (they always report being disconnected) we might confuse some
userspace. Add a client capability for writeback connectors that will
filter them out for clients that don't understand the capability.
