My Big Plan (tm) for handling bpc, bandwidth, dotclocks and clocks in
general (e.g. pll sharing) is to move all this stuff out of the ->mode_set
callbacks and into a new preparation step at the beginning of the modeset
sequence (i.e. before we start touching the hw). Essentially I want to
extend the current ->mode_adjust callbacks and move all these calculations
in there. Aims for this are
- should allow us to move a lot of the encoder specific code that
  currently sits in the xxx_crtc_mode_set functions into encoder callbacks
- allows us to fail a modeset that won't work (e.g. due to pll sharing
  limits or fdi link bw limits) _before_ we touch the hw
- prepares for the global modeset stuff, where we want to make clever
  decision about shared resources (e.g. enable 6bpc dithering if there are
  not enough fdi lanes availbale in 3 pipe configs).

So the ironlake bpc code is a bit cleaner, but imho still gets it wrong.

Cheers, Daniel
