Do we need to ensure that software and hardware state are synchronized at startup? A boot firmware might have set it to something different before our driver starts up; if we use 'fastboot' then we might not do any modesets and might wind up with 0 (8BIT) in our state variable, but something else actually programmed into the hardware.

Thanks Matt,
It makes sense know, I couldn't understand why this would ever be at something different that 8bit mode... I guess the value should be read from the intel_color_init() function upon startup.
