Properties are uapi like anything else, with all the usual rules
regarding review, testcases, open source userspace ... Furthermore
driver-private kms properties are highly discouraged, over the past
few years we've realized we need to make a serious effort at better
standardizing this stuff.
From the discussion with Liviu the solution for these here needs
multiple pieces:
- For being able to reliably read the memory clock we need a DT
property, plus maybe DT override snippets to fix it if it's wrong.
- For exposing plane limitations to userspace there's TEST_ONLY. There
is a bit a gap in telling userspace better that scaling doesn't work
due to limits (atm a good strategy is to retry again without scaling
when adding a plane didn't work the first time around). But that
needs a more generic solution, not exposing something extremely
komeda specific.
- If this is needed by validation tools, you can still expose it in
debugfs. We have an entire nice infrastructure for debug printing of
kms objects already, see the various atomic_print_state callbacks
and infrastructure around them.

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.
