Subject: [v3.10][v3.11][v3.12][Regression][PATCH 0/1] Revert "Revert "drm/i915: revert eDP bpp clamping code changes""

Hi Daniel,

A bug was opened against the Ubuntu kernel[0].  It was found that reverting the following commit resolved this bug:

commit 657445fe8660100ad174600ebfa61536392b7624

    Revert "drm/i915: revert eDP bpp clamping code changes"

The regression was introduced as of v3.10-rc2 and affects a large number of end users.

I see this code has gone back and forth a few times, so I was wondering if we could get some feedback.  The revert of commit 657445f was tested aginst 3.11 stable and could not be done cleanly, so I had to make some modifications.  The modifications I made for 3.11 are in [PATCH 1/1].  The revert can't be done cleanly against 3.12 neither.  The modifications I made for 3.11 will not work cleanly on 3.12 due to recent changes in 3.12, such as commit 7984211.  However, I can create a patch specific for 3.12 if you think this is the best way to go. 

Thanks,

Joe
