This is good remark imho.
I think we have this fallback.
I'll try verify this.

Generalising a bit - I think we my consider following cases:

a\ format is correctly negotiated and signalled to consumer/provider but we don't see expected results (=correct screen seen by user)
b\ format was correctly negotiated but consumer/provider failed using signalled format (i.e. due bug in implementation)
c\ consumer or provider advertising - in reality unsupported format (false positive) - so negotiation resulting with signalling efficiently non-working format
  
Sascha says (in today's email):

"Here is your problem. The cluster windows only allow AFBC compressed
formats. AR24 is supported by the cluster windows, but not by the GPU,
see panfrost_afbc_format() in Mesa:"

I'm reading this as case c\ as Sascha said "negotiated format is not supported by GPU" ....but this format was negotiated.

......but for sure Sascha is much better than me here in subject - so i'm might be wrong here

This will be cardinal design error.
(keeping in mind we have multiple producers (GPU/video decoder) and multiple consumers (base & overlay DRM planes)

Testing Sacha patch (see today's email from Sascha) i'm getting

Qt: EGL Error : Could not create the egl surface: error = 0x3009

i'm reading this as: Qt tries allocate EGL surface and EGL returns error.

or i'm wrong?
