Yes, because I avoided creating a new property, but I'm not really happy with it either.

Possibility 1: Use "Broadcast RGB" for Y'CbCr too and clarify in documentation
    - still confusing name
    - limited does not mean something a little bit different for Y'CbCr and not strictly 16-235:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.12/userspace-api/media/v4l/colorspaces-defs.html#c.V4L.v4l2_quantization , but name
of option is given by preexisting property

Possibility 2: Deprecate "Broadcast RGB" and a a more neutral sounding "preferred color range", with the more neutral
sounding "limited" option instead of "Limited 16:235"
    - What's the relation between the 2? pq mentioned on the amdgpu gitlab that there is a posibility for userspace to
have only the new or the old one shown
    - Alternatively ignore "Broadcast RGB" when "preferred color range" is set and have them coexist?

I guess the kernel driver does the conversion, but i have to check for both.

For Intel I did not change the behavior of Boradcast RGB, but i think it's not clearly specified in the docs where the
conversion happens.
