[PATCH v9 06/19] drm/i915: Implement the "color format" DRM property
From: Nicolas Frattaroli
Date: Fri Feb 27 2026 - 14:22:37 EST
This includes RGB, YUV420, YUV444 and Auto. Auto will pick RGB, unless
the mode being asked for is YUV420-only, in which case it picks YUV420.
Should the explicitly requested color format not be supported by the
sink, then an error is returned to userspace, so that it can make a
better choice.
