[Why] For userspace to send static HDR metadata to the display we need to attach the property on the connector and send it to DC. [How] The property is attached to HDMI and DP connectors. Since the metadata isn't actually available when creating the connector this isn't a property we can dynamically support based on the extension block being available or not. When the HDR metadata is changed a modeset will be forced for now. We need to switch from 8bpc to 10bpc in most cases anyway, and we want to fully exit HDR mode when userspace gives us a NULL metadata, so this isn't completely unnecessary. The requirement can later be reduced to just entering and exiting HDR or switching max bpc.

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.
