There is quite some confusion around the term "gamma". I've used to call this function a "pure power-low with exponent 2.2" to explain that there are no offsets or multipliers or anything else. For documentation it would best to write down the mathematical formula rather than describe it in words. I understand that may be problematic in kerneldoc, and we didn't do it in Wayland XML either but in a proposed Gitlab-Markdown appendix. > > + */ > > + DRM_COLOROP_1D_CURVE_GAMMA22, > > + > > /** > > * @DRM_COLOROP_1D_CURVE_COUNT: > > * > > > > Both DRM_COLOROP_1D_CURVE_SRGB_EOTF and DRM_COLOROP_1D_CURVE_GAMMA22 are > defined and it should be clear that sRGB EOTF are piece-wise TF and > Gamma 2.2 is for power 2.2.

I failed at clarity in Wayland, so I'm perhaps a bit paranoid here. Thanks, pq
