It's very confusing for userspace to have to deal with inconsistencies here, and some drivers screwed this up a bit. Most just ommitted the format list when they meant to say that only linear modifier is allowed, but some also meant that only implied modifiers are acceptable (because actually none of the planes registered supported modifiers). Now that this is all done consistently across all drivers, document the rules and enforce it in the drm core. v2: - Make the capability a link (Simon) - Note that all is lost before 5.1. v3: - Use drm_WARN_ON (Lyude) Acked-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com> Acked-by: Maxime Ripard <maxime@cerno.tech> Cc: Simon Ser <contact@emersion.fr> Reviewed-by: Lucas Stach <l.stach@pengutronix.de> Cc: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Cc: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Cc: Maxime Ripard <mripard@kernel.org> Cc: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Cc: David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210506132343.2873699-1-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch
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.
