Display drivers may degrade from higher bit depths to lower bit depths
for reasons such as bandwidth constraints. Userspace applications, such
as compositors, may wish to know that this has occurred transparently,
instead of assuming that the "max bpc" they requested could be reached.

Introduce a new immutable DRM property called "link bpc" that reflects
the current display link's bits-per-component. An uevent is fired when
the link bpc value changes.

Set the new link_bpc member in the HDMI state helper to its HDMI output
bpc, so that during the next commit, the property is updated accordingly
and the uevent is fired.
