Still, the mgr_setup() accesses five different registers even if we do
not touch CPR settings (another 4 registers). All of those have static
values in the mainline omapdrm (there are custom properties to control
those in ti-linux).

I would rather keep this patch as it is and implement another one with a
cached struct omap_overlay_manager_info, that calls mgr_setup() only if
the info values have changed.

With the cached values in place the unneeded conversion arithmetic can
also be skipped based on color_mgmt_changed.
