[PATCH] Revert "drm/amd/display: Hardware cursor changes color when switched to software cursor"

[Melissa Wen <mwen@igalia.com>]

This reverts commit 272e6aab14bbf98d7a06b2b1cd6308a02d4a10a1.

Applying degamma curve to the cursor by default breaks Linux userspace
expectation.

On Linux, AMD display manager enables cursor degamma ROM just for
implict sRGB on HW versions where degamma is split into two blocks:
degamma ROM for pre-defined TFs and `gamma correction` for user/custom
curves, and degamma ROM settings doesn't apply to cursor plane.

Hi,

I suspect there is a conflict of interest between OSes here, because
this is not the first time this mechanism has been removed from the
DC shared-code and after reintroduced [1].

I'd suggest that other OSes set the `dc_cursor_attributes
attribute_flags.bits.ENABLE_CURSOR_DEGAMMA` to true by default, rather
than removing the mechanism that is valid for the Linux driver. Similar
to what the Linux AMD DM does for the implicit sRGB [2][3], but in their
case, they just need to initialize with 1.

Finally, thanks Michel for pointing this issue out to me and noticing
the similarity to previous solution.
