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.
Again this probably needs multiple pieces to solve this properly:
- Instead of expecting userspace to compute this (and duplicating
modeset code), the kernel driver should compute when it's necessary
to enable layer_split mode to make a configuration possible. I.e. in
komeda_plane_atomic_check() first try komeda_build_layer_data_flow()
and if that fails, try komeda_build_layer_split_data_flow(), and set
dflow.en_split accordingly. Assuming I understand somewhat correctly
what this does.
- If this is needed for validation then you want a debugfs file to
force this one way or the other, or alternatively use
->atomic_print_state to dump such hidden driver-private state.
Depends upon how you do your validation ofc.

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.
