When we are dealing with faulty hardware like cables/dongles/level-shifters we would need a quirk
to try falling back to a lower bpc and drive the output.  However we set the default to the maximum 
possible value that the driver is anyway currently doing. Is there an alternative that you would suggest 
in this case?
