How to deal with devices that may switch to non-desktop mode dynamically
during runtime, such as PSVR (I don't know if there are or will be
others)?
The PSVR connection box initially (in "cinematic mode") passes through
its HDMI input to its external HDMI output unchanged and renders the
input image as a floating plane on the HMD.
The pass-through HDMI output may be connected to the system's only
monitor, therefor PSVR doesn't belong in the drm_edid non-desktop quirk
list during boot.
Via USB commands the connection box can be switched to "VR mode", where
it passes through its HDMI input to the HMD and renders a re-undistorted
version of one of the eye views to its HDMI output.
Should the non-desktop property be made mutable for such devices, or
should this just be left to userspace completely, keeping them
non-desktop=false?

Philipp
