This will let us pass the kms_hdr.bpc_switch IGT
test.
The reason the bpc restriction was required is
historical. At one point in time we were not falling
back to a lower bpc when we didn't have enough
bandwidth for the maximum bpc reported by a display.
This meant that we couldn't enable some high refresh
modes unless we limitted the bpc.
Starting with this patch the issue is fixed:
commit cbd14ae7ea ("drm/amd/display: Fix
incorrectly pruned modes with deep color")
This patch implemented a fallback mechanism if mode
validation failed at the max bpc. This means users
now automatically get all modes that can be supported
by at least 6 bpc. The driver will enable the mode
with the highest possible bpc that is supported by
the display.
v2:
- explain why this is no longer needed (Michel)
- refer to commit that fixed bpc fallback (Michel)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
