DRM_CLIENT_...LOR_PIPELINE(9)

💅 DRM_CLIENT_CAP_PLANE_COLOR_PIPELINE(9) 💅

okay bestie, so this page is literally the drm.h header from the kernel — ./tools/perf/trace/beauty/include/uapi/drm/drm.h — and it's all about one lil client cap. buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

DRM_CLIENT_CAP_PLANE_COLOR_PIPELINE — yeah that's it, that's the whole name. no cap, the og page left it at that 💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

DRM_CLIENT_CAP_PLANE_COLOR_PIPELINE

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: if you set this bad boy to 1, the DRM core will allow setting the COLOR_PIPELINE property on a drm_plane, as well as drm_colorop properties. slay 💅 the kernel is literally letting you paint your planes.

but — and this is the important part, bestie, don't come for me — once this client cap is set, setting these plane properties will be rejected:

• COLOR_ENCODING
• COLOR_RANGE

so like, pick your lane. it's giving "you can't sit with both tables" 😭

also fr fr: the client must enable DRM_CLIENT_CAP_ATOMIC first. no atomic, no party. periodt.
