Appreciate the review, it's not a small change by any means :)

This was more of an effort to align with what DRM allows, which is
per-CRTC cm support and LUT sizes. I'm not aware of any current or
future hardware where this is the case though. It was a relatively
simple thing to implement, so I thought, might as well.

My original take was that it's best to support what the framework
allows. But it does sound like this would have more utility to the
client, and simplify the code as well.

I can incorporate those along with the edit above.

Thanks!
