commit 5efd407674068dede403551bea3b0b134c32513a upstream.
Per DP spec, the source device should fall back to 18 bpp, VESA range
RGB when the sink capability is unknown. Fix the color depth
clamping. 18 bpp color depth should ensure full color range in automatic
mode.
The clamping has been HDMI specific since its introduction in
commit 996a2239f93b03c5972923f04b097f65565c5bed
