drm/nouveau/kms/nv50-: Limit MST BPC to 8
commit ae5769d4 upstream. Noticed this while working on some unrelated CRC stuff. Currently, userspace has very little support for BPCs higher than 8. While this doesn't matter for most things, on MST topologies we need to be careful about ensuring that we do our best to make any given display configuration fit within the bandwidth restraints of the topology, since otherwise less people's monitor configurations will work. Allowing for BPC settings higher than 8 dramatically increases the required bandwidth for displays in most configurations, and consequently makes it a lot less likely that said display configurations will pass the atomic check. In the future we want to fix this correctly by making it so that we adjust the bpp for each display in a topology to be as high as possible, while making sure to lower the bpp of each display in the event that we run out of bandwidth and need to rerun our atomic check. But for now, follow the behavior that both i915 and amdgpu are sticking to.
