That's no wonder I think. drm_connector_state::max_bpc combining the max
EDID BPC value and the connector's requested-max-bpc property value is
obscure and misleading I think. Since this drm_connector_state::max_bpc
value is not an actual (hard) maximum. It's a target BPC that the driver
uses as a user preference but can adjust it by both increasing or
decreasing it, based on the driver specific min/max limits (instead of
just failing the commit if that requested BPC value would be
out-of-bound).

I suppose this should be documented at least in DRM core.
