I added it from the start because plymouth can only do xrgb8888 and I
thought that this was probably the format that most apps/libs/tools
supported, ensuring that tinydrm would work with everything. But I was
aware that this was the kernel patching up userspace, so I knew that it
might be shot down.

But after your comment, I thought that this was in the clear:

I can make a patch that removes this format conversion.
