[RFC PATCH v3 4/6] 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 an explicit luminance value in nits. This allows the userspace
to set the maximum white level for the SDR plane.

v2:
 - fix type in description
