I disagree. The subsampling is degrading the image considerably in
some cases. We need control over this.

It does mean that user space has to be smart and try to reduce the
bandwidth if a KMS commit fails, but the same is true for resolution
and refresh rate right now and will be true for a min bpc property as
well.

I don't think this breaks anything in practice. The change would only
break use cases where you want to set the infoframe to a variant which
does not match the wire format and that would be broken. So yes, I
agree.

We can't just remove the enum values though. If we deprecate the YCC
variants that must be documented and user space has to understand that
choosing the RGB variant will result in the kernel just doing the
"right thing".
