[PATCH v4 04/15] hw/display/apple-gfx: Adds configurable mode list
Posted by Phil Dennis-Jordan 1 month ago
This change adds a property 'display_modes' on the graphics device
which permits specifying a list of display modes. (screen resolution
and refresh rate)

The property is an array of a custom type to make the syntax slightly
less awkward to use, for example:

-device '{"driver":"apple-gfx-pci", "display-modes":["1920x1080@60", "3840x2160@60"]}'

Signed-off-by: Phil Dennis-Jordan <phil@philjordan.eu>

v4:

 * Switched to the native array property type, which recently gained
	 command line support.
 * The property has also been added to the -mmio variant.
 * Tidied up the code a little.

I prefer it to be written as: char buffer[5 * 3 + 2 + 1];
to avoid the indirection by having another variable.

Use qemu_strtoi() or it will have a perculiar behavior with negative 
values; see the comment in util/cutils.c for details.

Use g_autofree. docs/devel/style.rst has some explanation.
