Add a new option, bpp, to specify the default bpp value.

This patch is applied on the top of previous two patches. I couldn't find an easy way to specify the default bpp, so I cooked the driver quickly. If there is any other convenient way to achieve this, let me know...
Well, you can specify the desired bpp with a full mode on the kernel cmdline - the '-bpp' extension. Reading through the parser I think it should work even with just the '-bpp' and not a full mode, but I haven't tested. Look for cmdline_mode->bpp_specified in drm_fb_helper.c and the relevant parsing code in drm_mode_parse_command_line_for_connector in drm_modes.c
If that doesn't work for you, I think it's better to extend/fix it than add driver module options.
