[PATCH] drm/i915/dp: Stop enabling limited color ranges for everything

[Lyude]

Until now, it seems we've been erroneously enabling limited color ranges
for the vast majority of DisplayPort monitors. I noticed this after
writing a frame dump comparison test for the Chamelium and noticing that
every i915 device I had was failing, while amdgpu machines were fine:

It looks like this is because the DisplayPort spec tells us to use
limited color ranges whenever we detect a CEA mode in use. However, from
the looks of it there's another rather confusing part of the spec that
got missed: source devices are allowed to use the full range of values
for pixels -even- if the sink device declares that it's using a CEA
mode. It's up to the sink device to limit the pixel range to the CEA
ranges if it needs.

I'm really surprised that this bug would have been around as long as it looks
like it has been without anyone noticing it, so I figured I'd just send a patch
to the mailing list so you guys can point out whether or not this is really the
correct thing to do.
