Sometimes we want to override a connector's panel_orientation from the kernel commandline. Either for testing and for special cases, e.g. a kiosk like setup which uses a TV mounted in portrait mode. Users can already specify a "rotate" option through a video= kernel cmdline option. But that only supports 0/180 degrees (see drm_client_modeset TODO) and only works for in kernel modeset clients, not for userspace kms users. The "panel-orientation" connector property OTOH does support 90/270 degrees as it leaves dealing with the rotation up to userspace and this does work for userspace kms clients (at least those which support this property).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
