commit c20bb155c2c5acb775f68be5d84fe679687c3c1e upstream. Nouveau only exposes support for XBGR2101010. Prior to the atomic conversion, drm would pass in the wrong format in the framebuffer, but it was always ignored -- both userspace (xf86-video-nouveau) and the kernel driver agreed on the layout, so the fact that the format was wrong didn't matter. With the atomic conversion, nouveau all of a sudden started caring about the exact format, and so the previously-working code in xf86-video-nouveau no longer functioned since the (internally-assigned) format from the addfb ioctl was wrong. This change adds infrastructure to allow a drm driver to specify that it prefers the XBGR format variant for the addfb ioctl, and makes nouveau's nv50 display driver set it. (Prior gens had no support for 30bpp at all.)

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
