I guess we can just tack on a few new bools to the end of
drm_display_mode. And then when we get the mode passed in by the user
we'll have to check whether that mode matches any CEA mode and
then look up the correct YCbCr 4:2:0 mode for it.

Hmm. Actually, that probably means that it isn't sufficient to
actually store this information on the modes we have on the connector's
mode list, because that list has been filtered and so may not actually
have all the modes that were declared in the EDID. So I'm thinking we
should perhaps make the bitmap parsed from the Y402CMDB index the
full CEA mode list. That we can just lookup the matching VIC for
the user provided mode and check whether the bit for that VIC
indicates 4:2:0 support. And maybe we can handle Y420VDB in exactly
the same way (ie. just a second bitmap). That would have the additional
nice feature that the maximum length of those bitmaps is well defined
(at most 256 VICs).
