Since gen12 platform support isn't finalized yet, let's kill off the legacy color key ioctl for this platform; there's no userspace today that can run on this platform that utilizes this legacy ioctl, so we can safely kill it now before it becomes ABI.
Color key functionality never got integrated into the property / atomic interface, and the only known open source consumer was the Intel DDX which was never updated to run on platforms beyond gen9. If color keying is desired going forward, it should really be exposed as a property so that it can be applied atomically with other display updates (and should probably be standardized in a way all drivers can choose to support rather than being i915-specific). Arguably we might be able to prohibit this on gen10 and gen11 as well since no open source userspace exists for those platforms that utilizes these ioctls. However there's always the very slight chance that unknown closed source software is actively utilizing the color key ioctl on those platforms, so we should maintain the support there to avoid breaking ABI.
