I don't think this statement is 100% true. DG2 use FlatCCS rather than
AuxCCS, but still needs to use framebuffer modifiers because the region
of the FlatCCS that corresponds to the buffer may not be
initialized/correct if the buffer contents were generated in a
non-compressed manner. We have to use framebuffer modifiers to pass
information through the software stack as to whether the FlatCCS data
for the buffer is usable and should be consulted by consumers of the
buffer.
As I understand it, the big change in Xe2, is that compression is now
controlled by the PAT setting in the PTEs and even in cases where an
"uncompressed" PAT index is used to generate content in the buffers, the
corresponding FlatCCS area still gets initialized to whatever metadata
code corresponds to "this bloc is uncompressed." So that means that
it's always safe for consumers like display to treat the buffer as if it
were compressed (e.g., setting the decompression flag in PLANE_CTL) ---
the CCS metadata for ever single block in the buffer will properly
indicate that no compression is actually present.
