Actually I have send an email about this one to you in version 2, just 
past from that email:

"samsung,color_space" and "samsung,color-depth"

The drm_display_info's color_formats and bpc indicate the monitor 
display ability, but
the edp driver could not take it as input video format directly.

For example, with my DP TV I would found "RGB444 & YCRCB422 & & YCRCB444"
support in drm_display_info.color_formats and 16bit bpc support, but 
RK3288 crtc
driver could only output RGB & ITU formats, so finally 
analogix_dp-rockchip driver
config crtc to RGBaaa 10bpc mode.

In this sutiation, the analogix_dp core driver would pazzled by the 
drm_display_info,
can't chose the right color_space and bpc.

And this is the place that confused me, wish you could give some ideas 
about this one :-)
