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.

+Broadcom introduced new bus as replacement for older SSB. It is based on AMBA,
+however from programming point of view there is nothing AMBA specific we use.
+
+Standard AMBA drivers are platform specific, have hardcoded addresses and use
+AMBA standard fields like CID and PID.
+
+In case of Broadcom's cards every device consists of:
+1) Broadcom specific AMBA device. It is put on AMBA bus, but can not be treated
+ as standard AMBA device. Reading it's CID or PID can cause machine lockup.
+2) AMBA standard devices called ports or wrappers. They have CIDs (AMBA_CID)
+ and PIDs (0x103BB369), but we do not use that info for anything. One of that
+ devices is used for managing Broadcom specific core.
+
+Addresses of AMBA devices are not hardcoded in driver and have to be read from
+EPROM.
+
+In this situation we decided to introduce separated bus. It can contain up to
+16 devices identified by Broadcom specific fields: manufacturer, id, revision
+and class.
