Ah good catch - honestly what likely happened is I just got the two arguments
mixed up with each other. Confusingly: the first formats argument does not
require a sentinel, but the modifier list does require a sentinel. I would fix
this but I think we already concluded we don't need either FormatList or
ModifierList if we just use array slices so it shouldn't be an issue next
patch version.

Format modifiers does need a sentinel:
if (format_modifiers) {
const uint64_t *temp_modifiers = format_modifiers;
while (*temp_modifiers++ != DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID)
format_modifier_count++;
} else {
if (!dev->mode_config.fb_modifiers_not_supported) {
format_modifiers = default_modifiers;
format_modifier_count =
ARRAY_SIZE(default_modifiers);
}
}
And 0 should be equivalent to DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID, though I shouldn't have
hardcoded that value.

Ah yeah - you're right, I will make sure to fix this as well.
