Just realized an even bigger reason why your current design doesn't work:
You don't have locking here.
And you cannot grab the required lock, which is
drm_dev->mode_config.mutex, because that would result in deadlocks. So
this really needs to use the atomic state based design I've described.
Maybe we should just drop "actual color format" and instead fail the
modeset if the "preferred color format" property cannot be satisfied?
It seems like the simplest thing to do here, though it is perhaps less
convenient for userspace. In that case, the "preferred color format"
property should just be called "color format".
Yeah that's more in line with how other atomic properties work. This
way userspace can figure out what works with a TEST_ONLY commit too.
And for this to work you probably want to have an "automatic" setting
too.

The problem with TEST_ONLY probing is that color format settings are
interdependent: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/476#note_966634
So changing any other setting may require every color format to be TEST_ONLY
probed again.
If we put a bit map containing the possible color formats into
drm_mode_mode_info (I'm thinking that it could go into flags), we'd be
able to eliminate a bunch of combinations early on. Do you think that
would make things more bearable?
That would eliminate some, but note that for example YCBCR444 needs a faster
pixel clock then YCBCR420, so it's interdependent with everything else that
changes the required pixel clock like bpc, resolution and refresh rate.
So the config space is n-dimensional with no "right angle box" clearly
separating working from non working combinations.
But I just had the idea:
Currently in KDE and Gnome UI you first select the resolution, to then wee what
refresh rates are available. So I guess this concept could be appended to color
properties -> Define a sequence for the different properties to be applied
across all drivers and as soon as you select one, the next property in the
sequence is TEST_ONLYed.
e.g.:
1. Select resolution -> Available refresh rates are updated
2. Select refresh rate -> Available color formats are updated
3. Select color format -> Available bpc are updated
etc.
So you can't select a bpc that doesn't fit your current color format. Changing
color format can change the available bpc. One maybe counter intuitive thing
here is that color format "auto" might not have all bpc settings available, as
auto will for example actually be RGB which has higher pixel clock requirements
then ycbcr420. And in this model, color format is always decided first. Or vice
versa if bpc is decided to be before color format in the sequence.
I'm thinking, something like this:
