Hi Peter,
STM32 chipsets supports 8-bit CLUT mode but this driver version does not 
support it "yet" (final patch has not been upstreamed because it was a 
too big fbdev patch for simply adding CLUT...).

Regarding your patch below, if it helps you to ease the drm framework 
update then I am agree to "acknowledge it" asap, else if you are not in 
a hurry, I would prefer a better and definitive patch handling 8-bit 
CLUT properly and I am ok to help or/and to do it : )

Extra questions:
- any plan to update modetest with the DRM_FORMAT_C8 support + gamma 
get/set?
- do you have a simple way to test clut with fbdev, last year we where 
using an old version of the SDL but I am still looking for a small piece 
of code to do it (else I will do it myself but C8 on fbdev is not really 
a priority ;-)

best regards,
Philippe
