This patch adds a new structure in DRM layer for Gamma color correction. This structure will be used by all user space agents to configure appropriate Gamma precision and Gamma level.

struct drm_intel_gamma { __u32 gamma_level; (The gamma_level variable indicates if the Gamma correction is to be

Why do we need this? The properties are installed on pipe and plane objects and the set_property() interface already tells us which object we are talking about.

applied on Pipe/plane) __u32 gamma_precision; (The Gamma precision indicates the Gamma mode to be applied)

Supported precisions are - #define I915_GAMMA_PRECISION_UNKNOWN 0

UNKNOWN is used to disable the function, why not call it GAMMA_DISABLE?

#define I915_GAMMA_PRECISION_CURRENT 0xFFFFFFFF

Current isn't used in this patch set.

#define I915_GAMMA_PRECISION_LEGACY (1 << 0)

That looks like a name leaking hw specific knowledge to an interface that want to be generic. _8BITS?

#define I915_GAMMA_PRECISION_10BIT (1 << 1) #define I915_GAMMA_PRECISION_12BIT (1 << 2) #define I915_GAMMA_PRECISION_14BIT (1 << 3) #define I915_GAMMA_PRECISION_16BIT (1 << 4)

I915_ prefix but the structures are in drm.h. Here again, there's an impedance mismatch between generic properties and driver (or worse platform) specific interface.

__u32 num_samples; (The num_samples indicates the number of Gamma correction coefficients) __u32 reserved; __u16 values[0]; (An array of size 0, to accommodate the "num_samples" number of R16G16B16 pixels, dynamically)

That doesn't seem enough. We can have values > 1.0 for wide gamut pipelines, I'd suggest 16.16 fixed point values.

};

The defines and documentation of that fields should be in the code, not in the commit message. It'd also be handy to have all the corresponding defines in this patch so we have a good view of the API.

v2: Addressing Daniel Stone's comment, added a variable sized array to carry Gamma correction values as blob property.
