+/**
+ * struct drm_property - modeset object property
+ *
+ * This structure represent a modeset object property. It combines both the name
+ * of the property with the set of permissible values. This means that when a
+ * driver wants to use a property with the same name on different objects, but
+ * with different value ranges, then it must create property for each one. An
+ * example would be rotation of &drm_plane, when e.g. the primary plane cannot
+ * be rotated. But if both the name and the value range match, then the same
+ * property structure can be instantiated multiple times for the same object.
+ * Userspace must be able to cope with this and cannot assume that the same
+ * symbolic property will have the same modeset object ID on all modeset
+ * objects.
+ *
+ * Properties are created by one of the special functions, as explained in
+ * detail in the @flags structure member.
+ *
+ * To actually expose a property it must be attached to each object using
+ * drm_object_attach_property(). Currently properties can only be attached to
+ * &drm_connector, &drm_crtc and &drm_plane.
+ *
+ * Properties are also used as the generic metadatatransport for the atomic
+ * IOCTL. Everything that was set directly in structures in the legacy modeset
+ * IOCTLs (like the plane source or destination windows, or e.g. the links to
+ * the CRTC) is exposed as a property with the DRM_MODE_PROP_ATOMIC flag set.

+ * @flags:
+ *
+ * Property flags and type. A property needs to be one of the following
+ * types:
+ *
+ * DRM_MODE_PROP_RANGE
+ * Range properties report their minimum and maximum admissible unsigned values.
+ * The KMS core verifies that values set by application fit in that
+ * range. The range is unsigned. Range properties are created using
+ * drm_property_create_range().
+ *
+ * DRM_MODE_PROP_SIGNED_RANGE
+ * Range properties report their minimum and maximum admissible unsigned values.
+ * The KMS core verifies that values set by application fit in that
+ * range. The range is signed. Range properties are created using
+ * drm_property_create_signed_range().
+ *
+ * DRM_MODE_PROP_ENUM
+ * Enumerated properties take a numerical value that ranges from 0 to
+ * the number of enumerated values defined by the property minus one,
+ * and associate a free-formed string name to each value. Applications
+ * can retrieve the list of defined value-name pairs and use the
+ * numerical value to get and set property instance values. Enum
+ * properties are created using drm_property_create_enum().
+ *
+ * DRM_MODE_PROP_BITMASK
+ * Bitmask properties are enumeration properties that additionally
+ * restrict all enumerated values to the 0..63 range. Bitmask property
+ * instance values combine one or more of the enumerated bits defined
+ * by the property. Bitmask properties are created using
+ * drm_property_create_bitmask().
+ *
+ * DRM_MODE_PROB_OBJECT
+ * Object properties are used to link modeset objects. This is used
+ * extensively in the atomic support to create the display pipeline,
+ * by linking &drm_framebuffer to &drm_plane, &drm_plane to
+ * &drm_crtc and &drm_connector to &drm_crtc. An object property can
+ * only link to a specific type of &drm_mode_object, this limit is
+ * enforced by the core. Object properties are created using
+ * drm_property_create_object().
+ *
+ * Object properties work like blob properties, but in a more
+ * general fashion. They are limited to atomic drivers and must have
+ * the DRM_MODE_PROP_ATOMIC flag set.
+ *
+ * DRM_MODE_PROP_BLOB
+ * Blob properties store a binary blob without any format restriction.
+ * The binary blobs are created as KMS standalone objects, and blob
+ * property instance values store the ID of their associated blob
+ * object. Blob properties are created by calling
+ * drm_property_create() with DRM_MODE_PROP_BLOB as the type.
+ *
+ * Actual blob objects to contain blob data are created using
+ * drm_property_create_blob(), or through the corresponding IOCTL.
+ *
+ * Besides the built-in limit to only accept blob objects blob
+ * properties work exactly like object properties. The only reasons
+ * blob properties exist is backwards compatibility with existing
+ * userspace.
+ *
+ * In addition a property can have any combination of the below flags:
+ *
+ * DRM_MODE_PROP_ATOMIC
+ * Set for properties which encode atomic modeset state. Such
+ * properties are not exposed to legacy userspace.
+ *
+ * DRM_MODE_PROP_IMMUTABLE
+ * Set for properties where userspace cannot be changed by
+ * userspace. The kernel is allowed to update the value of these
+ * properties. This is generally used to expose probe state to
+ * usersapce, e.g. the EDID, or the connector path property on DP
+ * MST sinks.
