Yeah I think that's perfectly ok, and probably worth it to still optimize for tiled->tiled changes. If you can. tiled<->untiled only happens for boot-splash, so no one cares, but with modifiers the idea is that tiling changes (especially once we get into the different compression modes amdgpu support, and which Bas' series tries to enable) are fairly common and should be doable without any stalls anywhere.
