One thing I wonder here is whether we should have a modifier for each
physical layout (tiling modes do change slightly between hw) or whether we
should just continue to assume that this is Intel-specific and add a
disclaimer that the precise layout depends upon the actual intel box
you're running on?

Leaning towards your approach, worst case we get to write some code to
de-alias layout modifiers with established cross-vendor layouts (if they
ever happen). Just want to make sure that we've thought about this. Adding
Rob&dri-devel for this.

Something else to ponder: We also need layout modifiers for non-fb formats
in userspace so that clients and compositors can communicate about render
formats. Given that I think it'll make sense to enumerate all the other
tiling formats we have, too (i.e. Y-tiled and W-tiled).

If we need fb modifiers for non-fb formats, although that sounds a bit funky to me, we can always add them in separate patches, no?

Regards,

Tvrtko
