Yes, for example HDMI path (Display Controller and HDMI encoder) in
Exynos5433 works on RGB buffers and do not perform any conversion if the
output is also RGB, on the other side CEA861 specs says that in case of
CEA modes output RGB should be in limited range, in case of non CEA
modes it should be full range.

The idea was to allow userspace to check (atomic_check) which ranges are
acceptable in given mode and to set desired one if possible.

Any better solution is welcome?
