I've inquired with out display team on how to best handle this. In
the meantime, it's probably best to just default to 8 bpc. Does the
attached patch fix your issue?

Subject: [PATCH] drm/radeon/kms/atom: force bpc to 8 for now

Using the bpc (bits per color) specified by the monitor
can cause problems in some cases. Until we get a better
handle on how to deal with those cases, just use a bpc of 8.
