Subject: Claude review: drm/amd/display: Add support for 'link bpc' property

Patch Review
**Unchecked return value:**
```c
drm_connector_attach_link_bpc_property(&aconnector->base, 16);
```
The return value is not checked. While the existing `drm_connector_attach_max_bpc_property()` call on the line above is also not checked (and that function also returns `int`), this is still a pattern to avoid. If property creation fails (e.g., memory allocation failure), it will silently continue with a NULL `link_bpc_property`. The `drm_connector_update_link_bpc_property` does have a NULL guard, so it won't crash, but the connector will silently lack the property. Consider checking the return value, or at least adding a `drm_warn` on failure.
**Double clamping:**
```c
static void amdgpu_dm_update_link_bpc(struct drm_connector_state *conn_state,
enum dc_color_depth depth)
{
/* 6 bpc is an experimental internal format only, use 8 as minimum */
conn_state->link_bpc = clamp(convert_dc_color_depth_into_bpc(depth), 8,
conn_state->max_bpc);
}
```
This clamps link_bpc at assignment time. Then `drm_connector_update_link_bpc_property()` (from patch 1) clamps again:
```c
u8 bpc = clamp(state->link_bpc, 8, state->max_bpc);
```
The double clamping is harmless but redundant. The core helper already handles clamping, so the driver could just do a straight assignment (only filtering out the 6bpc case with a `max()`). Either way it works, but it adds unnecessary complexity.
**Same clamp() type concern** applies here: `convert_dc_color_depth_into_bpc()` returns `int`, `8` is `int`, and `conn_state->max_bpc` is `u8` — mixed types in `clamp()`.
**`convert_dc_color_depth_into_bpc` can return 0:** If `display_color_depth` hits the `default` case, the function returns 0. The `clamp` will push it to 8, which is a reasonable fallback, but it might be worth a `drm_warn` in that scenario rather than silently assuming 8 bpc.
**Placement of the update call:** The `amdgpu_dm_update_link_bpc()` call is in `dm_update_crtc_state()`, which is called from `amdgpu_dm_atomic_check()`. This means the value is computed during the check phase and stored in the connector state, which is consistent with the HDMI helper approach. Good.
