This has originally been introduced to not oversubscribe the dp links
in

commit 885a5fb5b120a5c7e0b3baad7b0feb5a89f76c18
Author: Zhenyu Wang <zhenyuw@linux.intel.com>

    drm/i915: fix pixel color depth setting on eDP

Since then we've fixed up the dp link bandwidth calculation code for
code and should now automatically fall back to 6bpc dithering. So this
is unnecessary.

Furthermore it seems to break the new MacbookPro with retina display,
hence let's just rip this out.

Testing feedback highgly welcome, and thanks for Benoit for finding
out that the bpc computations are busted.

`for code` should be removed.

Ok, I've picked this up for -fixes, with the commit message a bit
improved. Let's see whether this blows up anywhere.
