Hm, not a huge fan of using driver_flags for random little quirks. I think
a boolean in sturct drm_mode_config would be much better. Bonus if you
also move the 30bpp hack over to that. Something like
mode_config.quirk_addfb_host_byte_order and
mode_config.quirk_addfb_prefer_xbgr_30bpp or whatever. That has the upside
of giving us a really nice place to put a huge comment about what this is
supposed to do.

I think otherwise this looks overall rather reasonable. I think the only
other driver that ever cared about big endian was radeon/amdgpu. Would be
good to get at least an ack from amd folks, or a "meh, stopped caring".
