The use case here means the userspace use-case. What the hw can do on any
given chip kinda doesnt matter, which is why I'm asking. KMD uapi is not
meant to reflect 100% exactly what a specific chip can do, but instead:
- provide features userspace actually needs. If you want per-plane fill,
you need userspace that makes use of per-plane fill, and if all you have
is crtc background, then that's it.
- we should create uapi with an eye towards what's actually possible on a
reasonable set of drivers and hw. Sometimes that means a slightly more
restricted set so that it's possible to implement in more places,
especially if that restricted feature set still gets the job done for
userspace.
Cheers, Daniel
