+/**
+ * enum drm_colorspace - color space
+ *
+ * This enum is a consolidated colorimetry list supported by HDMI and
  * DP protocol standard. The respective connectors will register
  * a property with the subset of this list (supported by that
  * respective protocol). Userspace will set the colorspace through
  * a colorspace property which will be created and exposed to
  * userspace.
+ *
+ * DP definitions come from the DP v2.0 spec
+ * HDMI definitions come from the CTA-861-H spec
+ *
+ * A note on YCC and RGB variants:
+ *
+ * Since userspace is not aware of the encoding on the wire
+ * (RGB or YCbCr), drivers are free to pick the appropriate
+ * variant, regardless of what userspace selects. E.g., if
+ * BT2020_RGB is selected by userspace a driver will pick
+ * BT2020_YCC if the encoding on the wire is YUV444 or YUV420.
