Hi Tom,

That's sad. What happens if you only revert the change to
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/core/dc_resource.c in this commit,ie.
change the assignment in resource_build_scaling_params() back to:

pipe_ctx->plane_res.scl_data.lb_params.depth = LB_PIXEL_DEPTH_30BPP;

As my testing on Polaris / DCE11.2 showed, for some reason the change
in linebuffer pixeldepth was not required for my Polaris11 to get
12bpc output, only for my Raven Ridge / DCN-1. Maybe I could make a
followup patch to make it conditional on asic? Either only increase lb
depth on DCN-1+, leave it off for DCE, or just exclude DCE-11.0 from
the change, as Carrizo is DCE-11? I seem to remember there were some
other DCE-11 specific restrictions wrt. 64bpp fp16 and the scaler.
Maybe something similar happens here?
