[PATCH v2 2/2] drm/display: hdmi: Round odd max_bpc down to even numbers
From: Nicolas Frattaroli
Date: Thu Jun 18 2026 - 14:55:17 EST
The HDMI state helpers will count down from the max bpc to 8 in steps of
2, trying each value as a possible output bpc. This goes awry if max bpc
is restricted by userspace to an odd number with the "max bpc" connector
property.
Prevent this, without introducing any additional bpc format trial steps,
by simply rounding down to the next multiple of 2 as the starting point
for the for loop.
Additionally, add a KUnit test to validate the handling of this.
Fixes: 26ff1c38fc29 ("drm/connector: hdmi: Compute bpc and format automatically")
