Interesting to know!

Regarding a generic colorkey property, there was a discussion under thread:
drm: Add generic colorkey properties for display planes

and the latest proposal (RFC v4) can be found here:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-tegra/patch/20180807172202.1961-2-digetx@gmail.com/

It looks like this was much more complex than anticipated and the series
was more or less abandonned. I didn't feel like picking it up in my logicvc
series so I kept the colorkey patch as not for merge.

If someone's up for picking the proposal and continuing the discussion,
I could provide insight on how it would fit with logicvc though!

Cheers,

Paul
