Doesn't "limited" mean different numbers on RGB vs. Y vs. CbCr? I have
a vague recollection that at least one of them was different from the
others.

Documenting DRM_MODE_COLOR_RANGE_UNSET as "unspecified/default" while
the string for it is "Unknown" seems inconsistent to me. I would
recommend to avoid the word "default" because "reset to defaults" might
become a thing one day, and that probably is not the same default as
here.

Is there actually a case for "unknown"? How can it be not known? Or
does it mean "not applicable"?

Otherwise looks good to me.
