    drm: Add DRM client cap for aspect-ratio · 7595bda2
    Ankit Nautiyal authored
    
    
    To enable aspect-ratio support in DRM, blindly exposing the aspect
    ratio information along with mode, can break things in existing
    non-atomic user-spaces which have no intention or support to use this
    aspect ratio information.
    
    To avoid this, a new drm client cap is required to enable a non-atomic
    user-space to advertise if it supports modes with aspect-ratio. Based
    on this cap value, the kernel will take a call on exposing the aspect
    ratio info in modes or not.
    
    This patch adds the client cap for aspect-ratio.
    
    Since no atomic-userspaces blow up on receiving aspect-ratio
    information, the client cap for aspect-ratio is always enabled
    for atomic clients.

        explaining the need to use the DRM cap for aspect-ratio. Also,
        tweaked the comment lines in the code for better understanding and
        clarity, as recommended by Shashank Sharma.

         if no atomic userspace breaks on aspect-ratio bits.
