I've pasted a snippet from that patch below for a quick review:

Full vs Limited is actually not HDMI specific, DisplayPort can signal this as
well for whatever it is worth.

RGB Range -> RGB Quantization Range

It is very unfortunate that this is called "Limited 16:235" instead of just "Limited"
since for color component bit depths > 8 these values are different.

I have no idea if it is possible to add an alias "Limited" that you can use instead.
In any case, this should document that it works just as well for higher bit depths,
but with different limits.
