Hm indeed. But also how exactly are you going to user modifiers without
IN_FORMATS ... it's a bit hard. I think this is all because we've enabled
modifiers piece-by-piece and never across the entire thing (e.g. with
compositor and protocols), so the missing pieces only became apparent
later on.
I'm not sure whether compositors really want to support this, I guess
worst case we could disable the cap on these old kernels.

That direction is enforced since 5.1, because some drivers screwed it up
and confusion in userspace ensued.
Should I add a bug that on kernels older than 5.1 the situation is more
murky and there's lots of bugs?

If allow_fb_modifiers isn't set yet (we do that in the line below) and we
are _not_ the first plane that gets added to the driver (that's done
towards the end of the function) then that means there's already a plane
registered without modifiers and hence IN_FORMAT. Which we then warn
about.

This warning here checks the other case of an earlier plane with
modifiers, but the one we're adding now doesn't have them.
