Add a new option, bpp, to specify the default bpp value.

Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

This patch is applied on the top of previous two patches.
I couldn't find an easy way to specify the default bpp, so I cooked
the driver quickly.  If there is any other convenient way to achieve
this, let me know...

Well, you can specify the desired bpp with a full mode on the kernel
cmdline - the '-bpp' extension. Reading through the parser I think it
should work even with just the '-bpp' and not a full mode, but I haven't
tested. Look for cmdline_mode->bpp_specified in drm_fb_helper.c and the
relevant parsing code in drm_mode_parse_command_line_for_connector in
drm_modes.c

If that doesn't work for you, I think it's better to extend/fix it than
add driver module options.

Cheers, Daniel

Well, the fb can be set by that option, but the default modeset
doesn't seem to honor it.  So if you start X modeset driver, it still
takes what the driver sets as default.  That was the problem I hit.


thanks,

Takashi

Oh, I've missed the preferred_bpp hint for the generic modesetting
driver. Can we fill that in by using the bpp parsed in the fb helper
somehow?
