The above max_bpp value depends on DSC DPCD registers in the sink. These
registers are not valid in the non-DSC case (contain 0), but there this
limit doesn't either make sense since the sink does not do a
decompression. IOW, this limit is specific to the decompression function
within the sink or branch and not to the panel's color depth capability
(stored in the sink's EDID).
