Documentation

Blob property which contains the set of recommended plane size
which can used for simple "cursor like" use cases (eg. no scaling).
Using these hints frees userspace from extensive probing of
supported plane sizes through atomic/setcursor ioctls.

The blob contains an array of struct drm_plane_size_hint, in
order of preference. For optimal usage userspace should pick
the first size that satisfies its own requirements.

Drivers should only attach this property to planes that
support a very limited set of sizes.

Note that property value 0 (ie. no blob) is reserved for potential
future use. Current userspace is expected to ignore the property
if the value is 0, and fall back to some other means (eg.
&DRM_CAP_CURSOR_WIDTH and &DRM_CAP_CURSOR_HEIGHT) to determine
the appropriate plane size to use.
