Yes, that's what I have in mind.  We give a list of native formats to 
drm_fb_build_fourcc_list(), the helper appends whatever is needed and 
returns the result for use by the driver.

Currently, drm_fb_build_fourcc_list() gets the native formats plus a 
list of all driver-exported formats. And if I'm not mistake, we could 
remove the driver list entirely.

Maybe we could condense the native-format list to a single entry. This 
would simplify things significantly.
