Subject: [ 09/32] drm/i915: ignore eDP bpc settings from vbt

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@...ll.ch>

commit 4344b813f105a19f793f1fd93ad775b784648b95 upstream.

This has originally been introduced to not oversubscribe the dp links
in

commit 885a5fb5b120a5c7e0b3baad7b0feb5a89f76c18

    drm/i915: fix pixel color depth setting on eDP

Since then we've fixed up the dp link bandwidth calculation code and
should now automatically fall back to 6bpc dithering. So this is
unnecessary.

Furthermore it seems to break the new MacbookPro with retina display,
hence let's just rip this out.

Testing feedback highgly welcome, and thanks for Benoit for finding
out that the bpc computations are busted.
