Hi Daniel,
How does VT switch work in case of rotation, setting different pixel
format, etc?

This patch includes enabling render decompression after checking all the
requirements (format, tiling, rotation etc.). Along with this, the WAs
mentioned in BSpec Workaround page have been implemented.
In case, any of the conditions fail, the flip will fail.

Using this as a property is a concern to me. Under the following
scenario, you can easily trigger a failure:
- compression-aware client runs and sets compression to true on the
primary plane
- VT switch
- non-compression-aware client takes over, changes the FB to a
non-compressed buffer, leaves compression property alone as it is
unaware of it
- ???
It seems like the best thing to do in this case is to make compression
a property of the FB, through modifiers. This also enables seamless
use of render compression from clients using EGL/GBM, where GBM just
hands a buffer over to the client and lets the client deal with
presenting it through KMS. In this case, the client is not aware if
compression should be enabled or not.
Cheers,
Daniel
