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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
