Yes, please, very much, about the generic color UAPI.

I believe IGT should contain the reference curve for all named fixed
curves computed with standard libc math functions in double precision,
and compute error statistics between that and hardware results.
The actual test image would iterate through e.g. 1024 (all 10-bit
values for integer format framebuffer) different values - 1024 is
nothing as a number of pixels. Then we decide on acceptable error
thresholds.

It should also be tested with a floating-point framebuffer format, FP16
or FP32, with a value distribution designed to be sensitive to typical
numerical problems. For example, an inverse EOTF should be carefully
tested with values near zero, since those are the most problematic and
likely cause the most visible errors.

Once all that is done, we can be very sure of what curve any hardware
actually implements.

I might even go far enough to suggest that any generic color UAPI with
named fixed curves cannot land without such tests.
