drm/radeon: Set depth on low mem to 16 bpp instead of 8 bpp
The radeon driver reduces the framebuffer resolution to 8bpp if a
device with less than 32MB VRAM is found. This causes the framebuffer
to run in 8 bit paletted mode. For a text console this is not an
issue as 256 different colors is more than one gets on a VGA text
console. However this leads to a poor 8bit pseudo-color visual when
running X on fbdev, too, which is quite ugly.
In this patch, we try to give some moderate compromise: limit the
framebuffer bpp to 8 only when VRAM is 8MB or less, and use 16 bpp
otherwise for 32MB or less VRAM.
