Subject: [PATCH RFC 02/25] drm: Add VRR state
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 17:51:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921-vrr-limiter-uapi-v1-2-2fcd7d011646@collabora.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921-vrr-limiter-uapi-v1-0-2fcd7d011646@collabora.com>
Add preliminary state tracking for VRR, and VRR state validation. This
will be used for generating VTEM infoframes in order to support variable
refresh rate functionality.
