[RFC PATCH 3/3] drm/color: Add sdr boost property

From: Bhawanpreet Lakha <Bhawanpreet.Lakha at amd.com>

SDR is typically mastered at 200 nits and HDR is mastered at up to 10,000
nits. Due to this luminance range difference if we blend a SDR and
HDR plane together, we can run into problems where the HDR plane is too
bright or the SDR plane is too dim

A common solution to this problem is to boost the SDR plane so that its
not too dim.

This patch introduces a "sdr_white_level" property, this property can be
used by the userspace to boost the SDR content luminance. The boost
value is a explicit luiminance value in nits. This allows the userspace
to set the maximum white level for the SDR plane.
