Not quite what I meant: You should support the legacy gamma ioctl, if your
gamma ramp can be squared into support that. Which generally means yes.
We've been thinking about just wiring this all up by default, but there's
some drivers who use a 256 entry legacy gamma ramp (for backwards compat
with old X11 userspace), but advertise much bigger tables through the new
ioctl. So it's not quite as simple.

But except if you have some really strange hw there's just no good reason
not to support the old legacy ioctl. We also don't just support the new
atomic ioctl on new drivers, they all still support the older interfaces.
This is the same.

That's what I meant should be clarified if it's not yet clear in docs,
plus maybe a new todo entry in Documentation/gpu/todo.rst.
