igt.kms_color@xxxxxxxxx fails, we get an ENAVAIL (-119) (which doesn't
seem like a good return value for this error but anyway..), dmesg says

05:42:13.199: [   75.472174] [drm:_dpu_rm_check_lm_and_get_connected_blks] [dpu error]failed to get dspp on lm 0
05:42:13.199: [   75.481487] [drm:_dpu_rm_make_reservation] [dpu error]unable to find appropriate mixers
05:42:13.199: [   75.490235] [drm:dpu_rm_reserve] [dpu error]failed to reserve hw resources: -119

which comes from:

idx = lm_cfg->dspp - DSPP_0;
if (idx < 0 || idx >= ARRAY_SIZE(rm->dspp_blks)) {
	// misleading error message, it's not LM%d, but DSPP%d
	DPU_ERROR("failed to get dspp on lm %d\n", lm_cfg->dspp);
	return false;
}

which comes from:

static const struct dpu_lm_cfg sc7180_lm[] = {
        {
                .name = "lm_0", .id = LM_0,
                .base = 0x44000, .len = 0x320,
                .features = MIXER_MSM8998_MASK,
                .sblk = &sc7180_lm_sblk,
                .lm_pair = LM_1,
                .pingpong = PINGPONG_0,
                .dspp = DSPP_0,
        }, {
                .name = "lm_1", .id = LM_1,
                .base = 0x45000, .len = 0x320,
                .features = MIXER_MSM8998_MASK,
                .sblk = &sc7180_lm_sblk,
                .lm_pair = LM_0,
                .pingpong = PINGPONG_1,
		// no dspp here, errors out
        },
};

would simply binding .dspp = DSPP_0 to the other one just work here?

Also, would that mean we can only have gamma control on a single active
LM at a time?
