Ah, good catch. The default range for SRGB is full range, so the documentation
is correct. This is according to the sYCC standard.

This means that you need to set the quantization field to limited range in this driver.

Sorry for the confusion I caused.

Interesting, I should take a look at other drivers since I suspect that this is
signaled wrong elsewhere as well. It used to be limited range but I changed it
to full range (as per the sYCC spec). But in practice it is limited range in most
cases.

I'll take another look at this on Friday.

I recommend that you leave the code as is for now.

OK. This needs some attention before it can be moved out of staging.
