One rationale is cruddy cables/dongles/level shifters/misprogrammed
buf translations/etc. which fail when we try to push 12bpc HDMI through
them. And to work around those we probably want this to be a connector
property so that xrandr will get it automagically. Won't help fbdev of
course, but for that we'd either need a modparam, or maybe some generic
way to expose properties via sysfs or something.
See eg. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91434 for likely
12bpc issues.
As far as the implementation goes, I'd probably just make it range property
("max bpc" or something like that) with some sane range of values (8-16?,
or maybe we need to go lower?), with the default value being the max.
