That's true. And we should check them in the plane atomic check (but do
we?).

In that case I don't mind a warn there, but you should still return an
error if it happens, instead of continuing with bad config.

Yes, but I don't so. If our planes can support up to, say, 1000. Then we
plug in a monitor with native width of 1100, which omapdrm would accept
happily and try to use it by default. But we can't show fbdev or any
normal setup there, because the planes won't support it. How would we
manage that?

While not strictly correct, I think it's fine to reject videomodes which
can't be shown with a normal full-screen plane.
