There are a few details specific to the GETFB2 IOCTL. It's not immediately clear how user-space should check for the number of planes. Suggest using the handles field or the pitches field. The modifier array is filled with zeroes, ie. DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR. So explicitly tell user-space to not look at it unless the flag is set. Changes in v2 (Daniel): - Mention that handles should be used to compute the number of planes, and only refer to pitches as a fallback. - Reword bit about undefined modifier.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
