Why would anyone want to run at 8bpc when they have a panel with higher color depth? So I think someone is going to be doing that modeset eventually anyway.
We used to do something similar, but then got piles of bug reports about the displays running at 30Hz rather than 60 so we changed it to 8. It's hard to say what a user will prefer.
"max bpc" is a maximum, ie. it shouldn't make a modeset fail, the kernel should automatically reduce the bpc if the link bandwidth is insufficient. So that sounds like there's an amdgpu bug here?
