I think a WARN_ON here is perfectly fine. Like Shawn said, any invalid
formats should already be filtered out by the drm core (by checking
against the list of valid formats for this plane), so no need to move
this to ->check(). In i915.ko we have a MISSING_CASE macro to catch
these cases when someone adds a new format, but forgets to update all
the switch statements.
