Should probably check that the entire modifier+format is
actually valid. Otherwise you risk passing on a bogus
modifier deeper into the driver which may trigger
interesting bugs.

Also theoretically (however unlikely) some broken userspace
might start to depend on the ability to create framebuffers
with crap modifiers, which could later break if you change
the way you handle the modifiers. Then you're stuck between
the rock and hard place because you can't break existing
userspace but you still want to change the way modifiers
are handled in the kernel.

Best not give userspace too much rope IMO. Two ways to go about
that:
1) drm_any_plane_has_format() (assumes your .format_mod_supported()
   does its job properly)
2) roll your own
