Thanks for the series, it looks like the right thing to do.

Can you please change the patch ordering though? At the moment there
will be a bisection break at patch #1, because the legacy drivers will
suddenly start gaining modifier support, before it is removed in patch
#2.

I think a better order would be:
  1: add fb_modifiers_not_supported flag to core and drivers
  2: add default modifiers (and set allow_fb_modifiers) if
fb_modifiers_not_supported flag is not set
  3: remove allow_fb_modifiers flag

Cheers,
Daniel
