The supported EOTFs are defined in eotf_supported in drm_edid but userspace has no way of knowing what is and isn't supported when creating an HDR_OUTPUT_METADATA and will only know something is wrong when the atomic commit fails.
Since it is expected that userspace reads the EDID to understand what the display supports it doesn't make sense for DRM to block an HDR_OUTPUT_METADATA if it contains an EOTF the kernel doesn't understand.
This comes with the added benefit of future-proofing metadata support. If the spec defines a new EOTF there is no need to update DRM and an compositor can immediately make use of it.
