[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's
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]
Introduce the "max_bpc" connector property so the user can limit the
maximum bpc for the panel. It ranges from 8 to 16.
This doesn't directly set the preferred bpc for the panel but this
convetion is already in use for other drivers.
