[RFC PATCH 0/3] Add support modifiers for drivers whose planes only support linear layout

[Tomohito Esaki]

Some drivers whose planes only support linear layout fb do not support format
modifiers.
These drivers should support modifiers, however the DRM core should handle this
rather than open-coding in every driver.

In this patch series, these drivers expose format modifiers based on the
following suggestion[1].
