Subject: [PATCH] drm: Add "min bpc" connector property
[Why]
When playing HDR or WCG content, bandwidth constraints may force the
driver to downgrade to 6bpc, resulting in visual artifacts like banding.
Userspace should be able to configure a minimum allowed bpc.
[How]
Introduce the "min bpc" connector property so the user can limit the
minimum bpc. Mirror the "mac bpc" implementation.
