[PATCH v3 09/14] drm/solomon: ssd16xx: Expose color mode as plane property

Add a DRM plane property "color_mode" for panels that support
3-color (black/white/red) display modes.

The property allows runtime selection between:
  - bw (black/white): R1 format represents black (0) and white (1)
  - 3color: R1 format represents red ink (1) on white background

The property is created on all panels with "black-white" selectable;
panels with red_supported = true also expose the "3-color" option.
The default is set from the panel configuration's default_color_mode
field (typically BW for monochrome panels).

Changes in v3:
- Reject 3-color mode together with partial refresh in the plane
  atomic_check, as partial refresh does not update the red channel
- Only create the color_mode property on panels with a red plane instead
  of exposing a property with a single possible value
