Revert "drm/i915: revert eDP bpp clamping code changes"
The regression was introduced as of v3.10-rc2 and affects a large number of end users.
I see this code has gone back and forth a few times, so I was wondering if we could get some feedback. The revert of commit 657445f was tested aginst 3.11 stable and could not be done cleanly, so I had to make some modifications. The modifications I made for 3.11 are in [PATCH 1/1]. The revert can't be done cleanly against 3.12 neither. The modifications I made for 3.11 will not work cleanly on 3.12 due to recent changes in 3.12, such as commit 7984211. However, I can create a patch specific for 3.12 if you think this is the best way to go.
Thanks,
Joe
