No, because I was looking at the function pointer type names, and not
the function arguments.

Thanks!

This struct has 'data' too, and that is not the wb buffer, right?

Hmm, if it's not the wb buffer, then using DRM_FORMAT_MAX_PLANES is
odd...

My question above is the confusion.

If all these members are about the wb destination buffer only, then
where do the inputs come from and how are they reference-counted to
make sure they are available when needed?

D'oh. Oh well.
