[Why] Many panels support more than 8bpc but some modes are unavailable while running at greater than 8bpc due to DP/HDMI bandwidth constraints. Support for more than 8bpc was added recently in the driver but it defaults to the maximum supported bpc - locking out these modes. This should be a user configurable option such that the user can select what bpc configuration they would like. [How] This patch adds support for getting and setting the amdgpu driver specific "max bpc" property on the connector. It also adds support for limiting the output bpc based on the property value. The default limitation is the lowest value in the range, 8bpc. This was the old value before the range was uncapped. This patch should be updated/replaced later once common drm support for max bpc lands.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
