* callback. For atomic drivers the remapping to the "ACTIVE" property is

+ *
+ * Note that this property cannot be set through the MODE_ATOMIC ioctl,
+ * userspace must use "ACTIVE" on the CRTC instead.
+ *
+ * WARNING:
+ *
+ * For userspace also running on legacy drivers the "DPMS" semantics are a

+ * returned by the GETCONNECTOR actually reflecting reality, because many
+ * drivers fail to update it. For atomic drivers this is taken care of in
+ * drm_atomic_helper_update_legacy_modeset_state().
+ *
+ * The second issue is that the DPMS state is only well-defined when the
+ * connector is connected to a CRTC. In atomic the DRM core enforces that
+ * "ACTIVE" is off in such a case, no such checks exists for "DPMS".
+ *
+ * Finally, when enabling an output using the legacy SETCONFIG ioctl then
+ * "DPMS" is forced to ON. But see above, that might not be reflected in
+ * the software value on legacy drivers.
+ *
+ * Summarizing: Only set "DPMS" when the connector is known to be enabled,
+ * assume that a successful SETCONFIG call also sets "DPMS" to on, and
+ * never read back the value of "DPMS" because it can be incorrect.
