Hi Simon,

Thank you very much for reviewing this patch, I just started learning
about DRM and this kind of reviews are really helpful :)

I was a bit confused by the docs[1]: (*stars* added in the relevant parts)

How I read it: "format_mod_supported" can be ignored where no filtering
is intended.

Looking at "create_in_format_blob" this does not look like a bug... But
I am not sure. You probably know the answer.
Whether the anwser is to chage the docs or "create_in_format_blob" I can
send a patch.

For what is worth, after extrating the relevant bits from Weston's
"drm_plane_populate_formats" function to my test program [2], formats
are not listed if "format_mod_supported" is not implemented. The same
applies to drm_info.
So, for the moment I emailed v2 implementing "format_mod_supported" [3].

By the way, this could be related to [4], see commit
b36a6bb8a151c056e1046e9d5b1192d90d9941c9. If we decided that the docs
are wrong I can send a patch as well.

Thanks again for your input,
Jose
