Yeah, just adding to this: The Default Colorspace is something well
defined. CTA-861 says:

"If bits C0 and C1 are zero, the colorimetry shall correspond to the
default colorimetry defined in Section 5.1"

and in Section 5.1

"In all cases described above, the RGB color space used should be the
RGB color space the Sink declares in the Basic Display Parameters and
Feature Block of its EDID."

If I set DRM_MODE_COLORIMETRY_DEFAULT, I expect the Colorimetry the
EDID reports to be in effect and not some driver specific nonsense.
