Hello Krzysztof,

Sorry for this.
I can explain more detailed.

For MT8173, the gamma module is inside disp_aal. When we need to adjust
gamma value, we need to use "has_gamma" to control gamma function
inside disp_aal to adjust gamma value.

Since MT8183 (MT8192/MT8195/MT8186), display gamma is seperated from
disp_aal. We just need to control disp_gamma directly and we don't need
to control gamma function inside disp_aal.

I will add these comments to commit message in next version to explain
it.

BRs,
Rex
