[PATCH v2 00/11] amd/display: Add GFX9+ modifier support.

This adds modifier support to radeonsi.
It has been tested on

- VEGA10, RAVEN, NAVI14
- weston, sway, X with xf86-video-amdgpu (i.e. legacy path still works)

and includes some basic testing of the layout code.

The main goal is to keep it somewhat simple and regression free, so
on the display side this series only exposes what the current GPU
can render to. While we could expose more I think that is more
suitable for follow-up work as the benefit would be minimal and
there are some more design discussion there to discuss that are
orthogonal from the initial implementation.

Similarly this series only exposes 32-bpp displayable DCC in the cases
that radeonsi would use it and any extra capabilities here should be
future work.

I believe these are by far the most complicated modifiers we've seen
up till now, mostly related to

- GPU identification for cases where it matters wrt tiling.
- Every generation having tiling layout changes
- Compression settings.

I believe the complexity is necessary as every layout should be different
and all layouts should be the best in some situation (though not all
combinations of GPU parameters will actually have an existing GPU).

That said, on the render side the number of modifiers actually listed for
a given GPU is ~10, and in the current implementation that is the same
for the display side. (we could expose more actually differing layouts
on the display side for cross-GPU compatibility, but I consider that
out of scope for this initial work).

v2:

Per suggestion from Daniel Vetter I added logic to get the tiling_flags at
addfb2 time and convert them into modifiers for GFX9+.  Furthermore, the DCC
constant econding modifers only get exposed on RAVEN2 and newer.

Bas Nieuwenhuizen (11):
  drm/amd/display: Do not silently accept DCC for multiplane formats.
  drm/amd: Init modifier field of helper fb.
  drm/amd/display: Honor the offset for plane 0.
  drm/fourcc:  Add AMD DRM modifiers.
  drm/amd/display: Store tiling_flags in the framebuffer.
  drm/amd/display: Convert tiling_flags to modifiers.
  drm/amd/display: Refactor surface tiling setup.
  drm/amd/display: Set DC options from modifiers.
  drm/amd/display: Add formats for DCC with 2/3 planes.
  drm/amd/display: Expose modifiers.
  drm/amd/display: Clean up GFX9 tiling_flags path.
