Ville Syrjälä 55bc60db59 drm/i915: Add "Automatic" mode for the "Broadcast RGB" property
Add a new "Automatic" mode to the "Broadcast RGB" range property.
When selected the driver automagically selects between full range and
limited range output.

Based on CEA-861 [1] guidelines, limited range output is selected if the
mode is a CEA mode, except 640x480. Otherwise full range output is used.
Additionally DVI monitors should most likely default to full range
always.

As per DP1.2a [2] DisplayPort should always use full range for 18bpp, and
otherwise will follow CEA-861 rules.

NOTE: The default value for the property will now be "Automatic"
so some people may be affected in case they're relying on the
current full range default.

[1] CEA-861-E - 5.1 Default Encoding Parameters
[2] VESA DisplayPort Ver.1.2a - 5.1.1.1 Video Colorimetry

v2: Use has_hdmi_sink to check if a HDMI monitor is present
v3: Add information about relevant spec chapters

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
