Ok so the documentation says :
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.11-rc5/source/include/drm/drm_connector.h#L698
	 * @bpc: Maximum bits per color channel. Used by HDMI and DP outputs.

and looking at the code, all drivers considers bpc=8 when unset.

but yeah ultimately drm_connector_helper_get_modes_fixed should have a variant to set the bpc
when != 8.

In this case it's useless.
