Some display controllers can be programmed to present non-black colors for pixels not covered by any plane (or pixels covered by the transparent regions of higher planes). Compositors that want a UI with a solid color background can potentially save memory bandwidth by setting the CRTC background property and using smaller planes to display the rest of the content.
To avoid confusion between different ways of encoding RGB data, we define a standard 64-bit format that should be used for this property's value. Helper functions and macros are provided to generate and dissect values in this standard format with varying component precision values.
v2:
- Swap internal representation's blue and red bits to make it easier to read if printed out. (Ville)
- Document bgcolor property in drm_blend.c. (Sean Paul)
- s/background_color/bgcolor/ for consistency between property name and value storage field. (Sean Paul)
- Add a convenience function to attach property to a given crtc.
v3:
- Restructure ARGB component extraction macros to be easier to understand and enclose the parameters in () to avoid calculations if expressions are passed. (Sean Paul)
- s/rgba/argb/ in helper function/macro names. Even though the idea is to not worry about the internal representation of the u64, it can still be confusing to look at code that uses 'rgba' terminology, but stores values with argb ordering. (Ville)
v4:
- Drop the bgcolor_changed flag. (Ville, Brian Starkey)
- Clarify in kerneldoc that background color is expected to undergo the same pipe-level degamma/csc/gamma transformations that planes do. (Brian Starkey)
- Update kerneldoc to indicate non-opaque colors are allowed, but are generally only useful in special cases such as when writeback connectors are used (Brian Starkey / Eric Anholt)
v5:
- Set crtc->state->bgcolor to solid black inside drm_crtc_add_bgcolor_property() in case drivers don't do this themselves. (Ville)
- Add kerneldoc to drm_crtc_add_bgcolor_property() function.

I like how bgcolor is a u64 now, but there is an issue with setting crtc->state->bgcolor in attaching the property.
We should do it in atomic core init instead, like we already do for connector/plane properties..
See for example https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/52363/
This was specificallly for the background color proposal, but we probalby have to split out the non-trivial conversions of __drm_atomic_helper_crtc_reset.
Makes sense. What's the status of that patch? It looks like it has a lot of a-b's/r-b's but hasn't landed yet. Is there anything blocking it? If you're still driving it forward, I can wait for that to land and then build on top of it.

I've split out the patch and landed some of the preparation patches, it should be good enough to unblock this patch series at least now. :)
