Gen9 platforms allow CRTC's to be programmed with a background/canvas
color below the programmable planes.  Let's expose this as a property to
allow userspace to program a desired value.

This patch is based on earlier work by Chandra Konduru and Matt Roper.
Between 2018 and now, intel/display has changed so much that another
rewrite was necessary.

v2:
   - Set initial background color (black) via proper helper function (Bob)
   - Fix debugfs output
   - General rebasing
v3 (Maarten):
   - Rebase on top of recent changes.
v4 (Maarten):
   - Complete rewrite based on the solution that went upstream, and
     on the new intel color management features.

nit:
Better names?

intel_color_background_color_hw_to_drm

Stick to kernel types u16?

can be within a old != new check, not to invoke it unconditionally.
The check we have above checks hw.background_color old vs new, the value 
programmed
into the hardware without alpha component.

This check is about uapi.background_color which does have the alpha component.

I can put it in a new vs old check, but it would have to be a separate one and
there is no benefit to having 2 comparisons vs 1.



Yes, I meant a new check but not really a blocker.

I will leave the name change up to your discretion. The i915 CI needs a re-run, though.

With the typo and checkpatch issues fixed, LGTM.
