+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * When userspace signals the &DRM_CLIENT_CAP_PLANE_COLOR_PIPELINE it
+ * should use the COLOR_PIPELINE plane property and associated colorops
+ * for any color operation on the &drm_plane. Setting of all old color
+ * properties, such as COLOR_ENCODING and COLOR_RANGE, will be rejected
+ * and the values of the properties will be ignored.
+ *
+ * Colorops are only advertised and valid for atomic drivers and atomic
+ * userspace that signals the &DRM_CLIENT_CAP_PLANE_COLOR_PIPELINE
+ * client cap.
+ *
+ * A colorop represents a single color operation. Colorops are chained
+ * via the NEXT property and make up color pipelines. Color pipelines
+ * are advertised and selected via the COLOR_PIPELINE &drm_plane
+ * property.
+ *
+ * A colorop will be of a certain type, advertised by the read-only TYPE
+ * property. Each type of colorop will advertise a different set of
+ * properties and is programmed in a different manner. Types can be
+ * enumerated 1D curves, 1D LUTs, 3D LUTs, matrices, etc. See the
+ * &drm_colorop_type documentation for information on each type.
+ *
+ * If a colorop advertises the BYPASS property it can be bypassed.
+ *
+ * Information about colorop and color pipeline design decisions can be
+ * found at rfc/color_pipeline.rst, but note that this document will
+ * grow stale over time.
