I'd just delete it all, since it's obviously not tested for these
drivers. And then add a patch which warns if allow_fb_modifiers,
modifiers list passed y/n and .format_mod_support don't all agree.
Since a bunch of your don't even set allow_fb_modifiers but pass a
format list. So it's a complete mess :-/

Next step would then be to add some todo items, at least the
simple/tiny drivers should all be able to do this fairly easily, and
probably with linear only as the default.
