From: Werner Sembach <wse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add a new general drm property "preferred color format" which can be used
by userspace to tell the graphic drivers to which color format to use.
Possible options are:
- auto (default/current behaviour)
- rgb
- ycbcr444
- ycbcr422 (not supported by both amdgpu and i915)
- ycbcr420
In theory the auto option should choose the best available option for the
current setup, but because of bad internal conversion some monitors look
better with rgb and some with ycbcr444.
Also, because of bad shielded connectors and/or cables, it might be
preferable to use the less bandwidth heavy ycbcr422 and ycbcr420 formats
for a signal that is less deceptible to interference.
In the future, automatic color calibration for screens might also depend on
this option being available.
