Updated series to fix the regressions introduced into stable kernels for active Displayport to dual-link DVI converters and for active Displayport to VGA converters. Also to fix this stuff better for Linux 4.8.
Patch 1 + 2 are needed to fix the regressions in the stable kernels. These are meant for easy backporting to all affected kernels.
Patch 3: A DP helper for parsing sink bpc from DP aux data to assist drivers if they can't get bpc from EDID.
Patch 4: Make intel kms use patch 3.
Patch 5: Make the EDID parser recognize the "DFP1.x compatible TMDS" bit by which DVI sinks can declare they support at least 8 bpc according to DFP spec. This one if applied would let me sleep so much better, as the common special display equipment for neuroscience research, which is all DVI based atm., sets that bit in its EDID 1.3.
