Let me quote James https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/345603/#comment_653081:

"Seems we can remove this bpp or no need to define it as a pass in argument
for size check, maybe the komeda/malidp get_afbc_bpp() function mislead
you that afbc formats may have vendor specific bpp.

But the story is:

for afbc only formats like DRM_FORMAT_YUV420_8BIT/10BIT, we have set
nothing in drm_format_info, neither cpp nor block_size, so both malidp
or komeda introduce a get_bpp(), but actually the two funcs basically
are same.

So my suggestion is we can temporary use the get_afbc_bpp() in malidp
or komeda. and eventually I think we'd better set the block size
for these formats, then we can defines a common get_bpp() like pitch".
