Hi Neil and Jonas,

(CC'ing Daniel for a framework question)

Thank you for the patch.

A comment would be useful:

	/*
	 * drm_connector_attach_max_bpc_property() requires the
	 * connector to have a state.
	 */
	drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset(connector);

	drm_connector_attach_max_bpc_property(connector, 8, 16);

I don't like this much though, it feels like the initial reset performed
by drm_mode_config_reset() should set default values for all state
members that are related to properties. Daniel, what's the rationale
behind the current implementation ?

This is a DRM core issue that shouldn't block this patch though, so
