drm/amd/display: Try RGB before YCbCr 4:4:4 in stream validationgrafted
amdgpu_dm_create_validate_stream_for_sink() walks encoding_order[] and uses the first encoding that validates. YCbCr 4:4:4 is listed before RGB, so an HDMI sink that advertises 4:4:4 gets YCbCr 4:4:4 whenever the "color format" property is left at AUTO, even though RGB fits the same link. That contradicts the documented AUTO behaviour for HDMI in enum drm_connector_color_format (RGB, falling back to YCbCr 4:2:0 only when the bandwidth is not available or the mode is 4:2:0-only), which the amdgpu implementation of the property also describes. It also leaves the "Broadcast RGB" property without effect on such sinks, since the quantization range it selects only applies to RGB output. Try RGB first. The mask still holds every encoding the sink supports, so a mode that cannot carry RGB falls back exactly as before. For reference, v7.2 picked RGB here unless YCbCr 4:4:4 was forced through debugfs, while earlier kernels picked YCbCr 4:4:4 for any HDMI sink that advertised it.

+GFXOFF
+======
+
+GFXOFF is a feature found in most recent GPUs that saves power at runtime. The
+card's RLC (RunList Controller) firmware powers off the gfx engine
+dynamically when there is no workload on gfx or compute pipes. GFXOFF is on by
+default on supported GPUs.
+
+Userspace can interact with GFXOFF through a debugfs interface (all values in
+`uint32_t`, unless otherwise noted):
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff``
+-----------------
+
+Use it to enable/disable GFXOFF, and to check if it's current enabled/disabled::
+
+ $ xxd -l1 -p /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_gfxoff
+ 01
+
+- Write 0 to disable it, and 1 to enable it.
+- Read 0 means it's disabled, 1 it's enabled.
+
+If it's enabled, that means that the GPU is free to enter into GFXOFF mode as
+needed. Disabled means that it will never enter GFXOFF mode.
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff_status``
+------------------------
+
+Read it to check current GFXOFF's status of a GPU::
+
+ $ xxd -l1 -p /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_gfxoff_status
+ 02
+
+- 0: GPU is in GFXOFF state, the gfx engine is powered down.
+- 1: Transition out of GFXOFF state
+- 2: Not in GFXOFF state
+- 3: Transition into GFXOFF state
+
+If GFXOFF is enabled, the value will be transitioning around [0, 3], always
+getting into 0 when possible. When it's disabled, it's always at 2. Returns
+``-EINVAL`` if it's not supported.
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff_count``
+-----------------------
+
+Read it to get the total GFXOFF entry count at the time of query since system
+power-up. The value is an `uint64_t` type, however, due to firmware limitations,
+it can currently overflow as an `uint32_t`. *Only supported in vangogh*
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff_residency``
+---------------------------
+
+Write 1 to amdgpu_gfxoff_residency to start logging, and 0 to stop. Read it to
+get average GFXOFF residency % multiplied by 100 during the last logging
+interval. E.g. a value of 7854 means 78.54% of the time in the last logging
+interval the GPU was in GFXOFF mode. *Only supported in vangogh*
