The dithering introduced in
commit 3b5c78a35c

drm/i915/dp: Dither down to 6bpc if it makes the mode fit
stores the INTEL_MODE_DP_FORCE_6BPC flag in the private_flags of the
adjusted mode, while i9xx_crtc_mode_set() and ironlake_crtc_mode_set() use
the original mode, without the flag, so it would never have any
effect. However, the BPC was clamped by VBT settings, making things work by
coincidence, until that part was removed in
commit 4344b813f1

Use adjusted_mode instead of mode when checking for
INTEL_MODE_DP_FORCE_6BPC to make the flag have effect.
v2: Don't forget to fix this in i9xx_crtc_mode_set() also, pointed out by
Daniel both before and after sending the first patch.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
