There are a few details specific to the GETFB2 IOCTL.
It's not immediately clear how user-space should check for the
number of planes. Suggest using the pitches field.
The modifier array is filled with zeroes, ie. DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR.
So explicitly tell user-space to not look at it unless the flag is
set.

+ * This queries metadata about a framebuffer. User-space fills

+ * struct as the output.
+ *
+ * If the client is not DRM master and doesn't have &CAP_SYS_ADMIN,

+ * zero &drm_mode_fb_cmd2.pitches -- this can be used to compute the number of
+ * planes.
+ *
+ * If the framebuffer has a format modifier, &DRM_MODE_FB_MODIFIERS will be set
+ * in &drm_mode_fb_cmd2.flags. Otherwise, &drm_mode_fb_cmd2.modifier has
+ * undefined contents.
