Up to now we've relied on the bios to get this right for us. Let's try
out whether our code has improved a bit, since we should dither
always when the output bpp doesn't match the plane bpp.
- gen5+ should be fine, since we only use the bios hint as an upgrade.
- gen4 changes, since here dithering is still controlled in the lvds
  register.
- gen2/3 has implicit dithering depeding upon whether you use 2 or 3
  lvds pairs (which makes sense, since it only supports 8bpc pipe
  outpu configurations).
- hsw doesn't support lvds.

v2: Remove redudant dither setting.

v3: Completly drop reliance on dev_priv->lvds_dither.

I'm not quite sure about the gen4 and earlier stuff. Isn't the pipe
always 8bpc, and then we should enable dithering on the port/pfit
when lvds is 6bpc.

Right now I think we'll start with pipe_bpp=18 when the primary plane
surface is 16bpp, and then we wouldn't enable dithering here for 6bpc
lvds.

Yeah, the patch does slightly change behaviour as we no longer blindly
follow the bios wrt dithering lvds. And imo trying to dither a 16bpp plane
(even if the pipe is running internally at 8bpc) is a bit pointless, since
there's simply no intermediate levels to dither down to 6bpc. Otoh just
using the dither flag unconditionally gives us a notch more unified code.
So I've opted for that.

I was just wondering what happens when we have 16bpp surface so
pipe_bpp is 18, and then we have 24bit lvds which means this hunk of code
will enable PANEL_8TO6_DITHER_ENABLE. Is that going to produce something
that still looks sensible?

Hm, indeed I've ignored this case a bit. I guess it would result in
something ok-ish, but I'm not sure. I'll do a similar check to what
I've added for g4x/vlv in another patch for 30bpp modes, and simply
only enabling dithering when we think it's needed and when we think
the "pipe" runs at 18bpp. I'll update the patch a bit.
