[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: implement high-bpc + pipeconf-dither support for g4x/vlv

The current code is rather ... ugly. The only thing it managed to pull
off is getting 6bpc on DP working on g4x. Then someone added another
custom hack for 6bpc eDP on vlv. Fix up this entire mess by properly
implementing the PIPECONF-based dither/bpc controls on g4x/vlv.

Note that compared to pch based platforms g4x/vlv don't support 12bpc
modes. g4x is already caught, extend the check for vlv.

The other fixup is to restrict the lvds-specific dithering to early
gen4 devices - g4x should use the pipeconf dither controls. Note that
on gen2/3 the dither control is in the panel fitter even.

v2: Don't enable dithering when the pipe is in 10 bpc mode. Quoting
from Bspec "PIPEACONF - Pipe A Configuration Register, bit 4":

"Programming note: Dithering should only be enabled for 8 bpc or 6
bpc."

v3: Actually drop the old ugly dither code.

v4: Explain in a short comment why g4x/vlv shouldn't dither for 30 bpp
pipes (Jesse).

v5: Also clear the dither type correctly as spotted by Ville.

v6: As Ville pointed out we need to indeed set the dithering both in
the pipeconf register (for DP outputs) and in the LVDS port register
(for LVDS ouputs). Otherwise LVDS panel will not get properly
dithered. The old patch got away with this since it forgot to clear
the LVDS dither bit ...
