[RFC PATCH 0/3] Add support modifiers for drivers whose planes only support linear layout

Some drivers whose planes only support linear layout fb do not support format
modifiers.
These drivers should support modifiers, however the DRM core should handle this
rather than open-coding in every driver.

In this patch series, these drivers expose format modifiers based on the
following suggestion[1].
