Seems like a v5 is shapping up. I'll summarise the discussion with Daniel on IRC yesterday and with Ville on the thread:
- Let's adjust the timings (when it's needed) in the driver instead of having user-space do it. This avoid leaking an implementation detail, let user-space use the mode without having to tweak it and Ville found that it'd be a bit impractical to match the 2D CEA VIC. (Joakim Plate was wondering about this as well).
- Make drivers opt-in to expose stereo modes, just like today with interlaced modes, giving an opportunity for people to make it work people exposing the modes.
- For frame packing (where the framebuffer has to be twice as high + vblank) we could also reject framebuffers with the wrong geometry.
