I agree. That change is too large and invasive for this patchset. Rather 
add a comment or TODO item.

The correct way for adding the modifier is to extend the 
drm_client_buffer_addfb() and pass in the information from the caller. 
That caller is fbdev code. We currently detect the format from (bpp, 
depth) values and forward the format to _addfb(). [1] Here we'd have to 
check the driver for a modifier as well and forward it to _addfb()

The pair of (bpp, depth) values comes from __drm_fb_helper_find_sizes, 
[2] which looks through the planes' formats and tries to find something 
that fits the user's requested color mode. It would have to look for 
modifiers as well. At some point, I want the helper to return formats 
directly, but that's still a bit away.
