Currently, we only ever enable dithering for 6 bpc displays. See commit
e8fa4270536d ("drm/i915: Only dither on 6bpc panels"). This is decided
at the end of intel_modeset_pipe_config().

The big question here is if we want to expand the use of dithering. I
guess we could be able to reduce banding if we did?

This enables dithering independent of crtc_state->dither. That doesn't
seem like a good idea. I think the decision should be made at the end of
intel_modeset_pipe_config().

	if (DISPLAY_VER(i915) >= 13 && crtc_state->dither &&
	    crtc_state->pipe_bpp == 36)
		gamma_mode |= POST_CC1_DITHER_ENABLE;

Obviously, as we currently only enable dithering for 6 bpc, this would
become a nop if it looked at crtc_state->dither and pipe_bpp only.

This is what you're trying to say:

	/* 12 bpc dithering is done at post CSC gamma for display 13+ */
	if (crtc_state->dither &&
	    (crtc_state->pipe_bpp != 36 || DISPLAY_VER(dev_priv) < 13))
		val |= PIPEMISC_DITHER_ENABLE | PIPEMISC_DITHER_TYPE_SP;

Again, this is a nop until we decide to use dithering more.
