[v11,07/11] drm: Add helper functions to handle aspect-ratio flag bits

Commit Message

Ankit Nautiyal April 20, 2018, 1:31 p.m. UTC

From: Ankit Nautiyal <[e-mail]>

This patch adds helper functions for determining if aspect-ratio is
expected in user-mode and for allowing/disallowing the aspect-ratio,
if its not expected.

Odd line split here. Makes this a bit hard to read.
I would split after the ||

Do we actually need to export these? I don't think so.

But I might be wrong. It's a bit hard to see with the way
you split this patch with the actual users in a different patch.

Agreed. I wasn't sure how to let it have better readability and less 
than 80 char length
at the same time. Will fix this.

These helper functions are used in drm_mode_atomic.c, drm_mode_crtc.c, 
and drm_mode_get_connector.c
The patches are split as to have modes-set handling separate and the 
exposing of connector separate.
Do you suggest this patch to be merged with the patch for handling 
aspect-ratio in modeset?

Usually if you add a function you should do it in the same patch where
you add the user(s) for said function. Otherwise it's impossibly to
judge whether the new function is any good.

80 chars is not a strict requirement. Readability is. ;)

That makes sense. I will merge this patch with the patch for handling 
aspect ratio in modeset path,
where its actually used.
