Firstly I'll agree with your later comment that having this control
allows testing of a range of output modes, and working around HDMI
sinks that have dodgy implementations.
(In our vendor kernel we now also have a property to override the
kernel chosen output format to enable testing of YCbCr4:4:4 and 4:2:2
output).

The DRM subsystem has the requirement for an open-source userspace
project to be using any new property before it will be merged [1].
This property already exists for i915 and gma-500, therefore avoids
that requirement.

There are objections to the UAPI for Broadcast RGB [2], but if it's
good enough for the existing implementations then there can be no
objection to it being implemented in the same way for other drivers.
Otherwise it is a missing feature of the DRM API, and the linked
discussion is realistically at least a year away from being resolved.
Why bury our heads in the sand for that period?

Linked to above, if it were the preferred method for controlling this
then I would expect it to become a drm-level property.

It's documented UAPI with those names[3], therefore any change would
be a change to user-space's expectation and a regression. At least by
sticking with the same names then any user space implementation that
exists for i915 or gma-500 will also work in the same way on vc4.

atomic_check is meant to validate the state, but must never touch the
hardware [4].
atomic_commit updates the hardware, although for struct
drm_connector_helper_funcs atomic_commit is documented as only being
applicable for writeback connectors [5]. Hence our only sensible
options are to trigger a mode change which reprograms everything, or
ignore the helpers.
There may be scope for improving this, but it'll need significant
driver (and possibly framework) rework in order to be done properly.

Glad it's proving useful.

We're also needing it as users have misbehaving monitors, and telling
them to replace the monitor as it breaks the HDMI spec generally
doesn't go down well! Likewise I've had users needing YCbCr444 output
because of some limitation in their receiving device, hence overriding
the kernel choice of output mode. It'd be nice if there were consensus
on the correct way to achieve that.

Cheers.
