With the introduction of the HDMI Connector framework the driver might
end up creating the max_bpc property with min = max = 8. IGT insists
that such properties carry the 'immutable' flag. Automatically set the
flag if the driver asks for the max_bpc property with min == max.

This change does not look right to me.

I wonder why we need this check because DRM_MODE_PROP_IMMUTABLE means 
that as per the doc, userspace cannot change the property.

          * DRM_MODE_PROP_IMMUTABLE
          *     Set for properties whose values cannot be changed by
          *     userspace. The kernel is allowed to update the value of 
these
          *     properties. This is generally used to expose probe state to
          *     userspace, e.g. the EDID, or the connector path property 
on DP
          *     MST sinks. Kernel can update the value of an immutable 
property
          *     by calling drm_object_property_set_value().
          */

Here we are allowing userspace to change max_bpc


drm_atomic_connector_set_property()
{
	**********

         } else if (property == connector->max_bpc_property) {
                 state->max_requested_bpc = val;

	**********
}

I believe you are referring to this IGT check right?

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/-/blob/master/tests/kms_properties.c#L428

I think we should fix IGT in this case unless there is some reason we 
are missing. Because just because it has the same min and max does not 
mean its immutable by the doc of the IMMUTABLE flag.

Yes

Well, having the same min and max means that it is impossible to
change the property. So the property is immutable, but doesn't have
the flag.

True, then does DRM_MODE_PROP_IMMUTABLE need a doc update too indicating 
that even if the min and max is same, property will be interpreted as 
immutable.

Granted that I'm only doing it for max_bpc property I don't think so.

Yeah, I have to agree with Abhinav here, it does look fishy to me too,
even more so that it's only ever "documented" through an igt routine
that has never documented why we want that.

I'm fine with the change if it's indeed what we expect, and it might
very well be, but I'd like to clear that up and document it first.

Should I also move the setting of the IMMUTABLE flag to a more generic code?
