b5f9fcd50a999a00128c0cc3f6e7d1f66182c9d5 ("xfree86/modes: Adapt 
xf86Randr12CrtcComputeGamma() for depth 30. (v2)")

would be also good to have in server 1.19.7, so xf86-video-intel/nouveau 
can operate at screen depth 30 and keep gamma table updates via 
xf86vidmode and randr functional, instead of the server switching to 
identity gamma ramps for the whole depth 30 session.
