I must be missing something, but to me it seems like Rajeev's patch is
fine as-is. From my reading of the code:

* Removes the warning if bus_format == 0. This is correct since I
don't think specifying bus format for eDP panels makes lots of sense.

* Removes the warning if bpc == 10. This is correct since we've seen
eDP panels with 10bpc.

* Keeps the warning if bpc == 0. IMO we can/should still require
panels to specify their BPC. I guess I'm treating this as a "max BPC".
I know that we use this field in the sn65dsi86 driver, so if it's OK
for this to be 0 then we'll have to change that driver to handle it.

Does that sound right to you Laurent? So since I think Rajeev's patch
is OK, I'm happy with:

Reviewed-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Unless I missed something and this patch needs to change then it feels
like Rajeev's patch series is in pretty good shape to land. I'm happy
to commit it but since Sam made comments on the previous version I'd
plan to wait a bit to make sure he has a chance for another look if he
wants to. I've also only got 2 days left before I vanish for 1 week of
vacation. ...so my plan is:
* If Sam / Laurent come back before tomorrow and say they're happy
then I'll commit.
* If I hear nothing then I'll check back after my vacation. If someone
else has committed then I'll be happy. If not and there has just been
silence then I'll commit it myself.

Please yell if that's not OK. :-)
