[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 introduces the "max bpc" amdgpu driver specific connector property so the user can limit the maximum bpc. It ranges from 8 to 16. This doesn't directly set the preferred bpc for the panel since it follows Intel's existing driver conventions. This proprety should be removed once common drm support for max bpc lands. v2: rebase on upstream (Alex) Signed-off-by: Nicholas Kazlauskas <nicholas.kazlauskas@amd.com> Acked-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Harry Wentland <harry.wentland@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
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.
