This patch is to emphasize how userspace should use the plane format list and
the IN_FORMATS blob. The plane format list contains the formats that do not
require modifiers, and the blob property has the formats that support
modifiers.
Note that these are not disjoint sets. If a format supports modifiers but the
driver can also handle it without a modifier, it should be present in both the
IN_FORMATS blob property and the plane format list.
This is important for userspace, as there are situations in which we need to
find out if the KMS driver can handle a certain format without any modifiers.
