Subject: [PATCH 1/3] drm/plane: Mention format_mod_supported in IN_FORMATS docs

Adding format modifiers without implementing the function
"drm_plane_funcs.format_mod_supported" exposes an invalid IN_FORMATS
blob with modifiers but no formats to user-space.

This breaks the latest Weston [1]. For testing purposes, I extracted the
affected code to a standalone program [2].

Make clear in the IN_FORMATS documentation that implementing
"format_mod_supported" is mandatory.
