Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Do not create a new max_bpc prop for MST connectors
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

We're not allowed to create new properties after device registration so for MST connectors we need to either create the max_bpc property earlier, or we reuse one we already have. Let's do the latter apporach since the corresponding SST connector already has the prop and its min/max are correct also for the MST connector.

The problem was highlighted by commit 4f5368b5541a ("drm/kms:
Catch mode_object lifetime errors") which results in the following spew:

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp_mst.c was renamed to drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dp_mst.c; I've fixed it up and queued it for 5.2, it's not needed on older kernels.
