Re: Mode validation outside of connector or encoder (i.e. at CRTC or drm_driver level)

Quick question; if I want to validate a mode given to me by a connector/encoder as workable or not before I am going through the code to actually set that mode, how would I do this?

I think this is an API bug. The crtc really should get a chance to do this. If nothing else it would simplify existing drivers, since eg Intel gen3 wouldn't have to replicate the width>2048 check across every output type.
