Hi Andrzej

Always good to have clear documentation.

@format_modifiers is an array of DRM_FORMAT_* which are defined as:

#define fourcc_code(a, b, c, d) ((__u32)(a) | ((__u32)(b) << 8) | \
                                 ((__u32)(c) << 16) | ((__u32)(d) << 24))


But the array is a u64[] like this:
static const u64 tegra20_modifiers[] = {
        DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR,
        DRM_FORMAT_MOD_NVIDIA_TEGRA_TILED,
        DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID
};

So this is not struct drm_format.

Can you try to give it a shot more?

	Sam
