Hm, that means someone would deliberately set an empty CLUT and still
request to display something C8 formated? If you want my opinion, we
should return -EINVAL if this happens. Using a default CLUT table to
support C8 early in the boot is one thing, allowing one to explicitly
discard the CLUT and expecting C8 to work properly sounds like a bad to
me.

Well, I don't know if we should prevent one from discarding the CLUT,
but we should definitely prevent one from using C8 format when
->gamma_lut is NULL.

You clearly showed it was possible, so I'd say no. Daniel, any opinion
on this specific problem?
