drm/i915: Use spatio-temporal dithering on PCH
Spatial dither is better than nothing, but ST is even better.
(from ajax's followup message:)
I noticed this with:
http://ajax.fedorapeople.org/YellowFlower.jpg
set as my desktop background in Gnome on a 1280x800 machine (in
particular, a Sony Vaio VPCB1 with 6-bit panel and a rather bright black
level). Easiest way to test this is by poking at PIPEACONF with
intel_reg_write directly:
% sudo intel_reg_write 0x70008 0xc0000040 # no dither
% sudo intel_reg_write 0x70008 0xc0000050 # spatial
% sudo intel_reg_write 0x70008 0xc0000054 # ST
I notice it especially strongly in the relatively flat dark area in the
top left. Closer than about 18" I can see a noticeable checkerboard
pattern with plain spatial dithering. ST smooths that out; I can still
tell that it's lacking color precision, but it's not offensive.
