Subject: [PATCH RFC 17/25] drm/connector: Add "qms_enabled" drm property
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 17:51:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921-vrr-limiter-uapi-v1-17-2fcd7d011646@collabora.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921-vrr-limiter-uapi-v1-0-2fcd7d011646@collabora.com>

HDMI includes a feature called "Quick Media Switching", or QMS for
short, which builds upon the existing VRR to allow for quick switching
between a select few common frame rates.

Add a DRM property to the connector to allow userspace to request the
kernel to use QMS. Only connectors of sources which do support QMS
should register this property, though whether a specific sink supports
QMS is orthogonal to this.
