If sc->sc_fb->planes == 1 is enough for _attach() to report it as a
HP98544 topcat then I would have thought it a sufficient check to
disable all the colour related logic as well. I'm assuming the various
topcats are fixed bitdepth, so a HP98547 could not run in 1bpp.
Certainly the driver assumes that :)

Possibly just by wrapping the for statements around the two calls to
topcat_setcolor() with an if (fb->planes > 1).
