Re: Patch "drm/amd/display: change dc stream color settings only in atomic commit" has been added to the 6.17-stable tree

Hi Sasha,

Same here, can you backport the previous related commit (2f9c63883730 "drm/amd/display: update color on atomic commit time" [1])  too? Otherwise, the commit below alone will cause regressions.

Thanks,

Melissa

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.

 drm/amd/display: change dc stream color settings only in atomic commit
 
 [ Upstream commit 51cb93aa0c4a9bb126b76f6e9fd640d88de25cee ]
 
 Don't update DC stream color components during atomic check. The driver
 will continue validating the new CRTC color state but will not change DC
 stream color components. The DC stream color state will only be
 programmed at commit time in the `atomic_setup_commit` stage.
 
 It fixes gamma LUT loss reported by KDE users when changing brightness
 quickly or changing Display settings (such as overscan) with nightlight
 on and HDR. As KWin can do a test commit with color settings different
 from those that should be applied in a non-test-only commit, if the
 driver changes DC stream color state in atomic check, this state can be
 eventually HW programmed in commit tail, instead of the respective state
 set by the non-blocking commit.
