-Convert direct mode.vrefresh accesses to use drm_mode_vrefresh()
-----------------------------------------------------------------

-drm_display_mode.vrefresh isn't guaranteed to be populated. As such, using it
-is risky and has been known to cause div-by-zero bugs. Fortunately, drm core
-has helper which will use mode.vrefresh if it's !0 and will calculate it from
-the timings when it's 0.

-Use simple search/replace, or (more fun) cocci to replace instances of direct
-vrefresh access with a call to the helper. Check out
-https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2019-January/205186.html for
-inspiration.

-Once all instances of vrefresh have been converted, remove vrefresh from
-drm_display_mode to avoid future use.

+Consolidate custom driver modeset properties
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Before atomic modeset took place, many drivers where creating their own
+properties. Among other things, atomic brought the requirement that custom,
+driver specific properties should not be used.
+
+For this task, we aim to introduce core helpers or reuse the existing ones
+if available:
+
+A quick, unconfirmed, examples list.
+
+Introduce core helpers:
+- audio (amdgpu, intel, gma500, radeon)
+- brightness, contrast, etc (armada, nouveau) - overlay only (?)
+- broadcast rgb (gma500, intel)
+- colorkey (armada, nouveau, rcar) - overlay only (?)
+- dither (amdgpu, nouveau, radeon) - varies across drivers
+- underscan family (amdgpu, radeon, nouveau)
+
+Already in core:
+- colorspace (sti)
+- tv format names, enhancements (gma500, intel)
+- tv overscan, margins, etc. (gma500, intel)
+- zorder (omapdrm) - same as zpos (?)
